Dynamic DNS with DigitalOcean - Must provide Hostname and Domain name
-
Hello
I have Dynamic DNS working with DigitalOcean - but only with one of the two records I need. The '*.mydomain.com' A record is working great. However, I also need a 'mydomain.com' A record, and I'm having trouble configuring this in pfSense. I think the problem is that pfSense requires the "Hostname" and "Domain name" fields. If "Hostname" wasn't required, I would expect this configuration to work. I have tried the "DigitalOcean" and "DigitalOcean (v6)" Service Types.
I tried to get clever by setting Hostname to "mydomain" and Domain name to "com". It results in a configuration that looks good in pfSense, but the Cached IP gets set to "N/A" and no record is created or updated in DigitalOcean.
Is there any way to have a domain name without a hostname in Dynamic DNS (with DigitalOcean)?
I'm running the latest version of pfSense CE (2.7.2)

Ugh. Well I figured this out seconds after I posted. Hopefully this will help someone in the future...
The syntax is the same as DigitalOcean: "Use @ to create the record at the root of the domain"
