nsupdate can use TCP connections and be told to send updates to a
specific address and port number. So in theory you could make SSH do
port forwarding for whatever port/address you tell nsupdate to
use. But this seems excessively painful. What's wrong with
	ssh trusted-host nsupdate < my-dns-update-file
