I did a quick mockup of an Earth, Moon and Sun (as a light source) in 3ds Max to see if I could get a shadow to move across the Earth. I did not give much attention to the scale of things but did get some encouraging results. I gave the Earth linear rotation (I did not bother with a tilt axis) and set the moon to travel along a arbitrary spline. See the attached animation for the way the shadow move across the Earth. I did not have much luck using a standard light so I used the 3ds Max instead and positioned the object along the Sun vector. Depending upon your end goals Max may have some potential.
