appears when you select a specific interface in the
Primary Binding Address Interface
field.

- If the interface has a dynamic IP address, the DDNS server checks the source IP
address of the packets from the Zyxel Device for the IP address to use for the domain
name. You may want to use this if there are one or more NAT routers between the Zyxel
Device and the DDNS server.
Note: The Zyxel Device may not determine the proper IP address if there is an
HTTP proxy server between the Zyxel Device and the DDNS server.
Custom
- If you have a static IP address, you can select this to use it for the domain name.
The Zyxel Device still sends the static IP address to the DDNS server.

example,
www.yourhost.dyndns.org
and still reach your hostname.
