I know of nothing turnkey for the RaQ... for some of the general
issues surrounding this, a Google search for

	bind "dynamic dns" update arm

will help.

For the specifics, you'll need to hack the RaQ config a bit:

	/usr/admserv/cgi-bin/.cobalt/dns/index.cgi
	/etc/named/pri.zone.tld.include
	/etc/named/records

The first file is what generates named.conf on restart.  I hack
this up to implement general named.conf changes.

The second "file" is an example... if you create a file whose
name is identical to a zonefile, save for ".include" appended, it
will be included in the appropriate zonefile.

Finally, the third file is what holds the "normal" DNS records.
The CGI script uses it to build named.conf.

I realize this is far from cookbook, but hopefully it's enough of
a start... by tinkering with the Cobalt-specific stuff, you
should be able to implement a standard BIND config.
