If DHCP/DDNS is going to cause the zone(s) to change very frequently, then
you may want to reconsider your master/slave arrangements and/or the
structure of your namespace. Replicating a large zone frequently over slow
links could be painful. Depending on your redundancy requirements, the
reliability of the branch-office links, etc., you may wish to convert those
zones from slave to stub.

For what purpose?
