If you search the web for [nsupdate howto] or [nsupdate tutorial] you
should find some useful resources.

If you are running BIND 9.7 or newer then it has a built-in setup for
simple DNS UPDATE uses. Try adding the following line to your zone's
configuration:

	update-policy local;

Then on your master server you can run

	$ nsupdate -l

The nsupdate man page explains the input format. For most purposes you
only need to use "update add", "update delete", and "send", e.g. on my
server I can type

	$ nsupdate -l
	> add example.dotat.at 3600 in a 192.0.2.4

	> ^D

And my log says:

26-Mar-2014 11:44:00.603 update: info: client 127.0.0.1#43926/key local-ddns: view auth: updating zone 'dotat.at/IN': adding an RR at 'example.dotat.at' A 192.0.2.4
