Yep, from the web page, http://www.isc.org/view.cgi?/products/DHCP/dhcp-v3.phtml:

Version 3 of the ISC DHCP Distribution adds conditional behaviour,
address pools with access control, and client classing.  An interim
implementation of dynamic DNS updates for the server only is included,
but is not supported.  The README file contains information about how
to enable this - it is not compiled into the DHCP server by default.

It would have to be version 3 with the code compiled in. It seems
that this code was only released to beta within the last couple weeks.
It's doubtful you are running it.
