Hopefully that works for you but my experience is things change very slowly for EL, specifically EL 7 and I wouldn't expect anything soon if at all (this is my experience, others may have different experiences).
It may be simple enough to rebuild the package from EL 8 yourself. I can confirm that the package at least builds. The caveat is that you're now a local package maintainer :)
Download the latest source RPM from EL 8 from the last successful build:
Look for the el8 dist tag, as of today:
Look for the src part and use the (download) link:
So my personal preference us curl over wget:
mkdir ddclient-build && cd ddclient-build
curl -LO https://kojipkgs.fedoraproject.org//packages/ddclient/3.9.1/1.el8/src/ddclient-3.9.1-1.el8.src.rpm
Now the cleanest way to build the package is to use mock which does it using a chroot and not polluting your whole system with -devel packages other than what is required:
# yum groupinstall "RPM Development Tools"
# yum install mock
# usermod -a -G mock <user>
Then re-login as that user so you get the mock group.
From the directory where you downloaded the source RPM (assuming x86_64) and as your NORMAL user (NOT root!):
$ mock -r epel-7-x86_64 --resultdir=./build ddclient-3.9.1-1.el8.src.rpm
Assuming it completes successfully:
cd build
# yum update ddclient-3.9.1-1.el7.noarch.rpm
HTH!
