	BIND can do this without any additional software.  You just need 
to distribute the encryption keys to the clients, and have them run 
nsupdate.  I'd suggest starting with BIND 9.1.3, however.


	Oh, and please don't use "NOSPAM" garbage in your return address. 
The newsgroup you posted this message to is gatewayed to a mailing 
list, and having this garbage in your address is anti-social and 
makes it more difficult for people to reply to you with the kind of 
information you've requested.

	Moreover, all address scanning tools I know of are intelligent 
enough to remove all "NOSPAM" type tags I've ever seen, so it doesn't 
do any good anyway.
