At first glance, I tend to agree. I would consider DNS lookups to be much less intrusive than update requests and would not want to risk being flagged as abusive and have my ddns host disabled. However: You only stand a chance of looking up the true status of the entry if you can reach the authoritative DNS server directly. If you can't, you'll probably be using cached data with a remaining TTL of 0-600 seconds, perhaps more. This means that at least in some cases, you'll update based on old data...

I'm using ddclient to update multiple hosts at different providers with the same IP. ddclient looks up the IP separately for each provider and I would like to cut down on these lookups. Is there some way to use the previously looked up IP without having to look it up again? Not the one from the cache, but the one that was last determinded during the same session with for example the use=web statement? Something like use=reuse
