The samba_dnsupdate script doesn't need Bind either.

You could always script around the 'samba-tool dns' commands, see
'samba-tool dns --help'

Samba is written using 'C' and the tools are mostly written in Python,
there isn't an easily findable API that I am aware of. 

What I am trying to say is, why make things hard for yourself ? If you
are going to be using PHP, you can make this run other scripts that run
nsupdate.

Where are the updates going to come from ?
