I too would like a router logout feature.  I've hard coded one into the ddclient
script specifically for my router so that my server doesn't lock out router
administration from other machines.

What I noticed in testing this is that if the router is being administered by
another machine and thus the server employing ddclient can not yank the IP then
ddclient defers to the server (LAN) IP and uses it for the update.  That is
to say, if ddclient can't get the IP from the router it uses the server machine
IP (i.e., 192.168.0.2).  This is surely  wrong.

What I believe is needed is the ability to specify a secondary (and perhaps
ternary) means for obtaining the IP  should the primary scheme fail.  For instance,
if I can't get my IP from my router then I'd like to fetch it from a web check
but never, never, never, from the host machine.  The default behavior should
be for ddclient to fail if the explicitly specified method(s) are unable to
obtain the IP.
