BIND 8.x already is set up to handle dynamic DNS.  To limit what IP
addresses are allowed to update a zone dynamically, add an
  
     allow-update

clause to the zone definition in the named.conf file.  Remember that
once a zone is subject to DDNS, you cannot edit the zone file
manually without possible loss of data.
