Haven't used bind 9 yet, but in bind 8 you can specify:

	allow-update { xxx; };

in the options or zone sections of named.conf. xxx can be an
earlier-defined acl, a list of ips, or 'key <tsig key>'

To do it with a zone key, there is a little walkthru here:

   http://www.nominum.com/resources/faqs/bind-faqs.html#tsig2

which worked for me when i set it up... i've never had to use it in
production since my so-called dynamic ip has been static for like 3
months.

The client that i use is called nsupdate(8), and i believe it should be
part of the standard bind 8 installation on freebsd. i don't know what
other clients exist.

good luck,
Bill
