  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).
