Recent versions of BIND 9 include GSS-TSIG support.  It's harder to
use than it should be, partly due to lack of documentation (mea
culpa), and has some limitations, but does work for the basic task of
letting clients (Windows or otherwise) in an Active Directory
environment perform DDNS updates using GSS-TSIG authentication.

See https://lists.isc.org/pipermail/bind-users/ for recent discussion.
