Hi @ahmadking22 ,

I guess that you are configuring DDNS with another provider than FortiGuard DDNS.

If so, please check this KB:

In this KB, it is said:

Based on your request, I guess you want to create a VIP, which can be accessed using the DDNS pointing to the public IP of the FGT and based on a specific port to an internal server, https://community.fortinet.com/t5/FortiGate/Technical-Tip-Using-Virtual-IPs-to-configure-port-forwarding/ta-p/198195

L.E. if the WAN ip is dynamically assigned,

Use the external IP of 0.0.0.0 when creating a VIP for a FortiGate unit where the external interface IP address is dynamically assigned.

Sorry, I dont really understand what you are trying to do.

fortiddns.com it's a public dns so any computer with a dns server configured can query and resolve it.

L.E.

If you want for the FGT to act as a DNS server for internal computers to resolve dns entries into private IPs instead of public, you can set it up to act as a dns server but you would need to point on the computers its internal IP in order to work, https://docs.fortinet.com/document/fortigate/6.2.16/cookbook/960561/fortigate-dns-server
