Thanks for trying but you're missing the point. I knew all the way about 
the method you suggested.
It's all about updating of SOA and A records of a domain.tld. You should 
read entire thread...

My solution was to rent a small Xen DomU host with NetBSD which I'm 
using as my secondary DNS so I don't have to run it on dynamic IP.
I am now updating my A and SOA records on the master based on my dyndns 
client and the IP it points to.
It's a matter of a couple of well written SQL queries with PowerDNS.
Here's the script updating my domains's records if anyone else would 
need to do the same thing:
