This is the update not the creation.
Will the update create both A/AAAA and PTR record?
I thought that it will just update IP but not create these records.
If I am correct then the question is valid and we need to have a way to 
create entries in an external data store.

Sounds like another use case for the notification system.
And for that we do not have firm plans yet but we are collecting the use 
cases to justify the effort.
Martin do you think it is worth opening a ticket?
