ddclient updates GoDaddy dns every 300s even if ip has not changed

[phaze75]

Hey,

I just changed my ddclient from using freedns to using GoDaddy. The dynamic ip has been checked properly (Interface/WAN) and the respective GoDaddy dns entry has been updated correctly. However, ddclient now seems to "statically" update the GoDaddy dns entry every 300 seconds (as configured in ddclient), but even if the dynamic ip has not changed.

ddclient using GoDaddy now shows a different behavior compared to using freedns, where the freedns dns entry was only updated if the dynamic dns had been changed by the provider.

Is there a reason for this behavior that is imho causing unnecessary traffic?

Best regards!
