How to configure your bind9 nameserver to accept dynamic DNS updates?

// configuration snippet for bind 9 nameserver (put it into /etc/bind9/named.conf )

key "{{ object.domain }}." {
    algorithm {{ object.get_bind9_algorithm }};
    // the secret is just a shared secret in base64-encoding, you don't need to use a special tool
    // to create it. Some random in base64 encoding should be OK.
    secret "{{ shared_secret }}";
};

zone {{ object.domain }} {
        type master;
        // bind9 needs write permissions into that directory and into that file:
        file "/etc/bind/zones/{{ object.domain }}";
        // everyone who has that key may update this zone:
        allow-update { key "{{ object.domain }}."; };
};
