I replied on another thread earlier.
Powered modem down and up, got a new ip address.
ddclient updated my ZoneEdit DYN record ok.
It is running on a Pi3A on my network, easy to install, sudo apt-get ddclient, it prompts for your config details during instal.
I debugged ddclient and the url to update the ddns DYN record is
https://<user>:<password>@dynamic.zoneedit.com/auth/dynamic.html?host=<domain_name>&dnsto=<ip_address>

Is there any way to use main domain and subdomain with zoneedit dyn?
I've check wildcard in my router but it update only main domain.

you could try a wildcard Cname where something.domain.com points to domain.com. where domain.com is dynamically updated.. that is if the root and sub need to resolve at the same location.

I've already solve the problem. I write script that send request to update the IP in 5 minutes interval for both addresses. I also left the main domain active on router so if something go wrong with the script router will send the request for main domain. This way I have the chance to check what was wrong remotely if the main domain will work :)

can you change that to be no less than 10 minute intervals to help avoid the TOO SOON error that can happen if updatedscome faster than 10 minutes apart.
