What DNS software is good for temporary usage while doing server maintenance?

Since there is not a secondary server available, I would like a solution that can just run on a desktop/laptop just to keep the records updated (preferably without installation -- just reads the existing zone files)

There are backup servers that rely on the master for zone transfers and it would be best not to reconfigure any of the domain record TTLs or the like

Master DNS server is running BIND
