Is there something wrong with the package in aur?

Re: Package for ddclient (to update dyndns)

I didn't know it existed because it didn't show up as a package.

http://www.archlinux.org/packages/search/?q=ddclient

This version has a sample config file.  Also the -daemon 300 is not needed in ddclient.rc because the value in the config file is used.

ddclient is in community:

$ pacman -Ss ddclient
community/ddclient 3.7.3-1
    Update dynamic DNS entries for accounts on many dynamic DNS services.

I see.  I'm new so this is the first I've heard of the AUR.  I'll check there next time and save myself some time!
