yes.

no.

you can make a dynamic zone with any version of BIND from 8.2 onward (but
please don't run BIND 8, it's dead, run BIND 9, trust me, come on in, the
water's fine).  you can update a dynamic zone with any RFC 2136 compatible
client, such as any version of "nsupdate" and many versions of ISC DHCPD.

however, the protocol spoken by dyndns.org and similar is not RFC 2136's,
but is a web-based API (see https://www.dyndns.com/developers/specs/).  it
is likely that your LRP boxes speak that protocol rather than RFC 2136,
and i know of no F/L/OSS implementation of this non-2136 update protocol.

if you want to hack LRP to speak RFC 2136 and contribute those changes
back to the LRP project, you'll be a hero.
