I've never seen an internet "dynamic DNS" service that actually uses
RFC2136...  Most of them are similar to dyndns.org and require a
web-based update.  Who are you using, and is it free?

It doesn't look like what you want to do is possible though; there'd
need to be an extra text box and variable for "alternate server to use
for RFC2136 update"...
