To achieve this, you should enable dynamic DNS updates from the WinNT
machine in the Bind configuration for the zone you intend to update.
e.g.
zone "microsoft.com" {
type master;
allow-update { 10.0.0.10; };
file "/var/named/primary/microsoft.com";
};
To perform the updates, use the Dynamic DNS protocol (RFC 2136). Bind
comes with an 'nsupdate' tool to achieve this, and there's a Perl
Net::DNS::Update module too.
Note that there's no authentication in this case (only by IP), so if
you're looking for more security, either make sure your network is well
protected or use the Secure DNS features of Bind 9.
