Update IPv4 and IPv6 simultaneously (for nsupdate.info)

[Fo Tastisch]

Hi!

I've tried everything I could think of so far, but somehow I am missing something (and I guess it's actually obvious, but it seems I'm kind of blind right now).

I need to update both my IPv4 and IPv6 for the same domain and chose nsupdate.info for that. Updating only one of those IPs works like a charm (either IPv4 or IPv6), but when I try to update both, only the last IP in my ddclient.conf is updated. Do you have any hints what I have to do to update both IPs?

I found solutions in case the different IPs are transmitted for different domains, but none of these worked in my setup.

My ddclient.conf looks like this:

Configuration file for ddclient generated by debconf

/etc/ddclient.conf

protocol=dyndns2
use=web, web=https://ipv4.nsupdate.info/myip
ssl=yes # yes = use https for updates
server=ipv4.nsupdate.info
login=subdomain.nerdpol.ovh
password='secret'
subdomain.nerdpol.ovh

protocol=dyndns2
usev6=if, if=eth0
ssl=yes # yes = use https for updates
server=ipv6.nsupdate.info
login=subdomain.nerdpol.ovh
password='secret'
subdomain.nerdpol.ovh

Thanks you a lot, I appreciate all hints that you can give me.

Did you find a solution. I have still this problem. I cannot update IPv4 and IPv6 in one config.
I am using ddclien 3.83

# Configuration file for ddclient generated by debconf
#
# /etc/ddclient.conf

cache=/var/cache/ddclient/ddclient.cache
pid=/var/run/ddclient/ddclient.pid
syslog=yes
ssl=yes
protocol=dyndns2

use=web
server=<server>
login='<user>'
password='<pw>'
my.domain.org

usev6=if, if=enp2s0
server=<server>
login='<user>'
password='<pw>'
my.domain.org

I never tried it that way... so I'm afraid I can't help you.
Did you tried to run ddclient in verbose mode?

The documentation is a bit confusing as the example do not match the definitions.

e.g.

Host definitions look like:
  [name=value [,name=value]*]* a.host.domain [,b.host.domain] [login] [password]

For example:
  protocol=hammernode1, \
  login=my-hn-login, password=my-hn-password  myhost.hn.org
  login=my-login, password=my-password  myhost.dyndns.org,my2nd.dyndns.org

You better ask your question at https://github.com/ddclient/ddclient. There aren't much people watching the old discussion forums.
