===Using SME default dynamic client & external DNS CNAME entries===
In many cases, you really do not need to use ddclient or some variation of it eg sme7-ddclient or smeserver-ddclient
You can use the built in dynamic client for your main domain (accessible by running Configure this server from the admin console).
Then create CNAME entries in external DNS records which point at the main domain name.
SME will update the main domain name/dynamicIP change, and the additional domains will follow it as the external IP changes.
The use of this method is only possible where the full DNS records are accessible & editable by admin users.
In some situations with DNS service providers, these DNS records are not accessible, in that case you will need to use one of the ddclient methods.
Also see http://bugs.contribs.org/show_bug.cgi?id=6206#c9 which says:
"I notice that you mention two dyndns domains, but you should be able to set up domain2.x.y to be a CNAME for domain1.x.y, then configure domain1.x.y with the builtin client."
