First off, I had multiwan with dynamicdns working before changing over to new equipment.   Through trial and error, I figure out a simple solution for those who have the issue of the default route IP address being taken over the actual WAN IP address when using ddclient with backend=ddclient.

You do not have to modify your rules, routing, GW group, default routes, anything more than the ddclient.

This configuration was found when I had removed all my entries (this may not be needed, just ended up starting from scratch)

****** Steps *****
1. Create your first entry with the information that is needed. 
       Hostname                    =         yourdomain.com     (use your actual domain)
      Check ip method         =        Interface
      Interface to monitor   =        WAN             (or what your external / Internet facing interface is called) 

2. Create your second entry with the information that is needed. 
       Hostname                    =         www.yourdomain.com     (use your actual domain)
      Check ip method         =        Interface
      Interface to monitor   =        WAN             (or what your external / Internet facing interface is called) 


Note:
The only difference between the first and second entries is the hostname.  The first does not have a subdomain.
I have not tested the subdomain with other entries as I can not. It may need to be www, you should test.

Also when entering, I found it did not matter if the first entry only has the domain, as once you enter the second entry, it they will switch the order automatically where subdomain . domain is listed lower.
