Some call me "Tim."  [Monty Python reference ;)]

Right- that is what I'm referring to (secure DDNS).  The default for
Standard zones is "none."  While you can change it to "secured and
non-secured," that's kind of a misnomer for standard zones - for an MS DNS
server to perform secure DDNS updates, it has to be and AD-integrated zone.

Changing a standard zone to allow non-secure DDNS is kind of nuts IMO.
Looping in Jim's response:

True indeed- however, you shouldn't say "not exactly the most secure
scenario," rather, you should say "this is a really dumb thing to do and
provides no security whatsoever."  Is there anyone out there who actually
has standard zones that allow unsecured DDNS updates?
