If you are managing the DHCP server too, you can configure it to send
the updates, instead from the client.  My Unix clients are configured
as follow:
 interface "if0" {
   send domain-name "example.com";
   send host-name "hostname";
 }

The server has, in the conrresponding subnet :
 option fqdn.server-update true;
 option fqdn.encoded true;
