 - Consider enabling logging for the DDNS service to monitor updates and troubleshoot any issues.

+The following example uses the fictional ``firewall.example.net`` setup on NethSecurity.
+The DigitalOcean API token is intentionally redacted; replace it with your own token. ::

+The relevant DigitalOcean fields are:
+
+- ``domain``: the domain managed in DigitalOcean
+- ``username``: the hostname label to update
+- ``password``: the personal access token
+- ``param_opt``: the DNS record ID for that hostname
+
+To list the records and find the ID, run::
+
+  curl -X GET -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
+        -H "Authorization: Bearer TOKEN" \
+        "https://api.digitalocean.com/v2/domains/DOMAIN/records"
+
+Replace ``TOKEN`` and ``DOMAIN`` with your own values.

+Split DNS
+---------
+
+Some deployments publish the same hostname inside the LAN and on the public internet.
+If ``lookup_host`` resolves to a private address on the firewall itself, DDNS can compare the public WAN IP against the internal answer and keep retrying even when the provider update succeeded.
+
+The recommended fix is to make DDNS query an external resolver for the lookup instead of the local split-DNS answer. For example::
+
+  uci set ddns.do.dns_server='1.1.1.1'
+  uci commit ddns
+  /etc/init.d/ddns restart
+
+This keeps split DNS for LAN clients while the DDNS client validates the public record.
