      2.2-BETA (amd64)
      built on Thu Nov 20 00:23:34 CST 2014
      FreeBSD 10.1-RELEASE

      DynamicDNS, Add new a dynamicDNS rule selecting Custom on this page https://pfsense.domain/services_dyndns_edit.php and it throws a message sayinig invalid host.

      Previous 2.1 customs worked just fine, and the migration to 2.2 still has the custom rules working fine ie updating the dynamic dns service until you attempt to edit and save.

      In my example I just paste a specially formatted URL into the Update URL field, everything else is just default eg.

      Service Type: Custom
      Interface To Monitor: WAN
      Interface To Send update from: Wan
      Verbose Logging: unticked
      CURL Options: All unticked
      Username: left blank
      Password: left blank
      Update URL: My specially formatted URL complete with username and password and other options is entered here.
      Result Match: left blank
      Description: left blank

      Error message is:
      The Hostname contains invalid characters.

      Update URL example:
      https://www.mydnsservice.com/dynservice?username=7349509374cn7x4G&password=jhkkdsjfu77dfh3d3&hostname=www.mydomain.com&myip=%IP%&wildcard=%IP%&mx=%IP%&backmx=NOCHG
