Dyndns hostname masking

I am masking a dyndns hostname with a domain name. I can't get google to verify or see the site's sitemap. Get error "sitemap in html". What can I do?

www.beloitrental.com/sitemap.xml

I use the updater too.

That error has nothing to do with DynDNS - Google don't accept HTML sitemaps. Try using one of the many sitemap generators and submit one in a supported format (XML).

Can I recommend that you ask on the Google forums, where people more familiar with Google's services can be found. This forum is for help with DynDNS's services.

Thanks. Did you notice anything wrong with the XML document? Was it an html format?

It appears that with the free Domain Masking dyndns creates frames and the sitemap.xml will display in one frame, but dyndns advertises their services in another. This is what google appears to be complaining about when they say sitemap in html.
