That won't happen unless the name server has permission to write to
the database files.  (named should be running as user.group =
named.named, so /var/named/* needs to be owned appropriately), and,
IIRC, an "allow-update" parameter added to the named.conf file (that
specifies a list/acl of hosts allowed to do that).

And while it doesn't seem to apply to your case, for dynamic dns for
a totally broken microslop implementation, to get it to work with
them you'll need to do some totally bizzare things to allow name
mangling (allowing underscores in host/domain names, etc).  [There
is mention of this on the home pages for BIND.]
