dDNS and dynamic updates.

[Kevin Darcy]

In the BIND distribution, there is a utility called "nsupdate" which allows one to make Dynamic Updates via the command-line. You could
of course call it from a script or program. I don't know if this tool builds on NT or not, but it might be worth checking out.
