[x] I have searched the existing issues, open and closed, and I'm convinced that mine is new.
[x] When the request is meant for an existing plugin, I've added its name to the title.
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Right now with porkbun as provider and ddclient as backend, you can only update subdomain (aaa.example.com, bbb.example.com), if you put the root domain example.com the update fails.
Describe the solution you'd like
Putting as hostname .example.com the update of the dns record works, but you can't do that in the ui because the validation return the error "Please specify a valid IP address or hostname". I'd like to allow that hostname.
Additional context
After a bit of trial and error with plain ddclient I found that this configuration works as expected (notice the starting dot in the domain):
In OPNsense I had to manually edit the file /usr/local/etc/ddclient.json changing the "hostnames" key, after a restart of the plugin the DNS record was correctly updated, but obviously this is not a permanent fix becasue the manual edit is lost every time you apply the configuration from the WebUI.
Without this fix the update fails because ddclient call this API to check the if the domain exists:
