Probably use a http(cgi-bin) interface on the http server that is homed on
the same box as the primary dns server
let him with keys, passwords, etc hit the http server
let it call nsupdate (see 'man nsupdate')

At least, that is what I am going to try to do

might even put the http request in nt's cron (scheduled tasks?)
