+# Introduction
+
+This page describes the configuration for ddclient. If you need anymore info about [supported routers](routers) or [supported protocols](protocols), check the other pages. Other options are described here.
+
+Normally you don't need many arguments when starting ddclient. You can run ddclient as `/usr/sbin/ddclient -daemon 300 -syslog` which should be enough for most configuration. You can put all the needed parameters in the configuration file.
+
+# Usage
+
+usage: `ddclient [options]`
+options are:

+
+# Configuring ddclient
+
+## Simple configuration
+
+The configuration file, `ddclient.conf`, can be used to define the default behaviour and operation of ddclient. The file consists of sequences of global variable definitions and host definitions. Since version 3.6.5, `ddclient.conf` is located by default in `/etc/ddclient/ddclient.conf`. Another location can be forced by using the -file option
+
+Global definitions look like: `name=value [,name=value]*`
+
+Next example specifies that ddclient should operate as a daemon, checking the eth0 interface for an IP address change every 5 minutes and use the 'dyndns2' protocol by default.
+
+    daemon=600
+    use=if, if=eth0
+    proxy=proxy.myisp.com
+    protocol=dyndns2
+
+Host definitions look like: `[name=value [,name=value]*]* a.host.domain [,b.host.domain] [login] [password]`
+
+Information about the protocols can be found on [the supported protocols](protocols).
+
+## Multiple hosts
+
+Next example specifies two host definitions. The first definition will use the hammernode1 protocol, my-hn-login and my-hn-password to update the ip-address of myhost.hn.org and my2ndhost.hn.org.
+
+The second host definition will use the current default protocol ('dyndns2'), my-login and my-password to update the ip-address of myhost.dyndns.org and my2ndhost.dyndns.org.
+
+The order of this sequence is significant because the values of any global variable definitions are bound to a host definition when the host definition is encountered.
+
+
+    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
+
+See the sample-ddclient.conf file for further examples.
+
+## multiple ips
+Since version 3.8.0 ddclient support the update of multiple ip's.  More information can be found [on the ddclient forum](https://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/message.php?msg_id=20080924120754.GA15984%40)
