The NSUpdate class from my Newtrino project at:

    http://subwiki.honeypot.net/cgi-bin/view/Freebsd/NewTrino

uses the Unix `nsupdate' command to send TSIG-authenticated update messages
to a BIND 9 DNS.  It may or may not work with an MS DNS - I haven't tested
it in that configuration - but it should be easy enough to adapt it to do
so.
