As I said the first time, adding it to servers is a bit more fuzzy but
still quite possible.

DDNS updates from a local application or a nearby host with authorization
are entirely legitimate means to the end.

Besides, you keep saying "there's no way" when that's provably not the
case at all.

Please,

Did you try to add it to the zone master file?

You keep saying that. Here's proof to the contrary ('arachnid' is a
windows 2000 advanced server host, with the labs.ntrg.com. zone hosted
inside active directory):

[ 21:24:34 -- weasel:/mnt/home/root/ ]
[ ehall$ ] nsupdate

server arachnid.labs.ntrg.com
update add foo.labs.ntrg.com 86400 TYPE64999 \# 15

[ 21:25:19 -- weasel:/mnt/home/root/ ]
[ ehall$ ] dig @arachnid.labs.ntrg.com foo.labs.ntrg.com. any

Record was added to Win2k Active Directory zone via Dynamic DNS update
operation and retrieved via standard query.

The protocols do not require you to do anything. whether you have

broken

this functionality in later products is something I cannot test.
