Public bug reported:

Ubuntu 12.04 LTS
ddclient 3.8.0-11.4ubuntu1
Linux station6 3.2.0-24-generic #37-Ubuntu SMP Wed Apr 25 08:43:22 UTC 2012 
x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
 

On my system ddclient start too early on boot  without a valid active
network  (Im using a wired connection) , then fail to update because
cannot connect to check the ip :

ddclient[1289]: WARNING:  cannot connect to checkip.dyndns.com:80
socket: IO::Socket::INET: Bad hostname 'checkip.dyndns.com'

after that, the daemon still runing and try to update the dns without check for 
network first. 
As the result we need to wait that the ddclient daemon re-check the ip ( 5 
minutes with stock config ) for a successful update.
In other systems, this can be solved adding  a  "if up/down then start/stop" 
script at /etc/NetworkManager/dispatcher.d/50-ddclient
