Description
ZoneEdit supports wildcard domains but I can't find a way to support it with the current ddns zoneedit client.
You can update a wildcard domain by using the base domain name for the hostname parameter and also adding a wildcard=YES query param to the URL. e.g.:
curl "https://[USERNAME]:[PASSWORD]@dynamic.zoneedit.com/auth/dynamic.html?host=example.com&wildcard=YES"
but check for a subdomain to make sure it worked (or read the response)
dig a sub.example.com

Research direction
Locate the current DDNS ZoneEdit client and inspect how it builds the update URL and hostname parameter. Use the issue's curl example to verify the wildcard=YES request, then use dig against a subdomain to confirm the wildcard update works. Done means wildcard domains are supported without breaking regular ZoneEdit updates.
