Namecheap seems to be unaware of this problem.  I mentioned that their documentation
indicating how to correctly configure a ddclient.conf file resulted in errors.

They basically asked me over a long chain of emails to test scenario A, scenario
B, etc.

Their solution works for a named host within a domain.  If you're just trying
to update the domain itself, there are problems.

The conf file that works for me:
# /etc/ddclient.conf
protocol=namecheap
use=if, if=eth1
server=dynamicdns.park-your-domain.com
login=mydomain.net
password=<password>
<hostA>,www


Where
<password> =  your dynamic DNS password as indicated by namecheap.  This is
not your account password, it is dynamically generated.
<hostA> = apparently you must list at least one host within your domain.  It
does not need to be a real host, but must be created on the namecheap side.



Other notes: 
When I do this, I get a cache file.  If I attempt to rerun referencing that
same cache file, I get the following error:
"Use of uninitialized value in string ne at /usr/sbin/ddclient line 2030."

I'm working around by removing the cached file each time, but that obviously
breaks the "don't update unless dirty IP" functionality...
