DDNS update reports success ("nochg"/"good") but the DNS record for the bare domain is not updated on the authoritative server.

OpenWrt Version

OpenWrt 19.07-SNAPSHOT

OpenWrt Target/Subtarget

OpenWrt 19.07-SNAPSHOT

Steps to Reproduce

To reproduce

1. Configure DDNS on OpenWrt with:
   service: no-ip.com
   domain: pr60xddnsnoip.net (bare domain)
2. Trigger update via:
   /usr/lib/ddns/dynamic_dns_updater.sh
3. Observe DDNS log:
   Response: nochg <current_ip>

Actual behaviour
Even after successful DDNS update, querying authoritative DNS:
dig @ns1.no-ip.com pr60xddnsnoip.net Returns old IP (8.8.8.8)

Expected behaviour
After successful DDNS update, authoritative DNS should return updated public IP.

Additional info

• DDNS update URL used: https://dynupdate.no-ip.com/nic/update
• Manual curl test: curl "https://user:pass@dynupdate.noip.com/nic/update?hostname=pr60xddnsnoip.net&myip=127.0.0.1"Response: nochg 127.0.0.1
• Network: WAN dynamic IP

Question

• Does OpenWrt DDNS support updating bare domains (@) with No-IP and we have similar issue with the easyDNS also?
• Or is this a provider limitation where only subdomains are supported?

Confirmation Checklist

• The package is maintained in this repository.
• I understand that issues related to the base OpenWrt repository or LuCI repository will be closed.
• I am reporting an issue for OpenWrt, not an unsupported fork.

Start with /usr/lib/ddns/dynamic_dns_updater.sh and /usr/lib/ddns/update_no-ip_com.sh, then reproduce the request with curl and verify the result using dig against the authoritative server. Compare the provider's handling of the bare domain, the dummy-IP response, and the real-IP response. Done means establishing whether the update script or No-IP's bare-domain support is responsible and documenting or correcting the behavior accordingly.
