Specifically, it's fairly easy if you configure your zones with `update-policy local`, and you use `nsupdate -l` to modify the zone. That way you get a fairly secure setup with very little configuration effort. You're all probably bored of me plugging nsdiff, but I wrote it to make it easier to update zones this way - http://dotat.at/prog/nsdiff/ (My production zones are updated by a cron job that feeds database dumps into nspatch, and I edit my test and personal zones using nsvi, both of which are wrappers around nsdiff and nsupdate.) > Ideally you would ONLY use dynamic updates to change zone data, but > there's also freeze and thaw functions in rndc(8) for those who want > to edit a zone file for Old Time's Sake.
