It is a lot simpler and a lot more practical just to
use shared secret between a CPE and a ISP's name server
for TSIG generation.

Howdy,

I hope you don't mean to suggest that a user should be able to use his
normal ISP username and password to set those DNS records which the
ISP has determined that he's allowed to set. That's just crazy talk!
