 Logging to syslog is controlled by the "syslog=yes|no" parametere.  If
 you want to control the   way ddclient logs to syslog you have to
 manipulate the facility (default:daemon) and priority (default:notice)
 setting.
 Check your syslog manual for more information.

 The message wasn't because ddclient detected your IP didn't change.
 It's a response from you dynamica dns provider which is warning you.
 Ddclient tries to find your current IP address, compares it with the
 value it has cached and if it's changed it tries to update your
 dynamic provider.  There are a few exceptions: if you used force or
 last update has been done more than (by default) 25 days agon, it also
 updates your provider.
