About Dynamic Update Tester
---------------------------

  Dynamic Update Tester (DUT) is a simple test application that was
  written to test my implementation of RFC2136 (Dynamic Update) before 
  integration in DynSite (http://noeld.com/dynsite.asp)

  The latest builds also include support for transaction signatures
  [TSIG] for secure dynamic updates as defined in RFC2845. It is compatible
  with Bind (HMAC-MD5) and Microsoft DNS (GSS-TSIG).

  The host names are optional. You may enter many and separate them with
  either a blank, a comma or a semi-colon. An A record must exist for each
  host name to update. Do not include the zone name.

  The "Update Zone" option allows the update of the A record of the root.

  I tested DynUp with Bind 9.2.4r4 (http://www.isc.org) and Windows Server
  2003 Standard Edition.
