My homegrown solution is for the CPE (in my case, devices running
OpenWRT) to hit a CGI script, which does the TSIG-based update. All the
device needs is a basic HTTP client, like wget (preferably an
SSL-capable version).
My personal preference is to not have to have update capabilities
exposed globally -- I actually use a hidden BIND master, with the
published servers being slaves -- and also not have to worry about the
clock on the CPE being too far off (which prevents TSIG from working,
last I looked).
