Addns.pl is a self-contained DynDNS update client for DynDNS.org (and possibly others). It supports a variety of IP detection methods including external webcheck/router pages. It also supports multiple configurations and hostnames, smart abuse prevention, and custom/static/dynamic DNS, and can run as a daemon, commandline options only, or with a configuration file.

Re: custom domain name update?
This problem has been fixed
custom domain name update?
How can you make addns.pl update a custom domain name (not FQDN) A record?
For example, I am using "custom" dns services. The domain (ie; mydomain.com) is setup up as an "A" record and the host (ie; www.mydomain.com) is setup up as a "CNAME" record pointing to "mydomain.com"
The "update_host" needs to be set to "update_host = mydomain.com"
Addns.pl complains about a "Malformed Hostname".
