I think this page will answer your questions:
http://www.dyndns.com/support/kb/using_ddclient_with_dyndns_services.html

Basically, you need to tell ddclient to use the public IP address scraped
from your router's status page or from DynDNS's CheckIP service, instead of
using the IP address reported by your hardware.
