I don't think that's how DDNS works. Client-side software appears to be responsible for updating the IP address associated with the DNS name provided by the DDNS service. If a DHCP renewal causes my router's address to change, the router firmware automatically contacts my DDNS provider to update the DNS "A" (Address) record for my DNS host name.
At least that seems to be how it works . . .
And, of course, this is all irrelevant to the subject of the OP
