The protocol has supported it from day 1. We've shipped
clients that supported it since 2000 (all version of BIND
9 support it). This was one of the architectual issues
that was addressed in BIND 9. We went to seperate databases
for each zone rather than a single database.
You can use UPDATE to update *any* record in a zone that
includes records that are occulted by the a delegating NS
RRset.
The only things you can't do with UPDATE (yet) are:
* provision a server to server a new zone.
* decomission a zone.
If we could get the TLD's to accept UPDATE packets I'd
write the code to do this whenever the master server
was updated (NS/glue changed) / restarted. This would
be a alternative method to going through EPP.
zone "example.com" {
type master;
file "master/example.com.db";
update-parent yes;
update-parent-key keyname;
};
