Thanks, you might not notice there was a commented line of  use=web,
web=checkip.dyndns.org/, web-skip='IP Address'
in the configure file.

I tried that before.
It can successfully update the IP. but has problem when I ssh from
outside. it complained the hostname unknown.
After I changed it to use=if, if=wlan0, and restart ddclient.  it can
ssh into from outside.

That's why I asked.
