I'm running 4.3 RELEASE

I just want to see if i would be wasting my time.

Is it possible to setup the DNS daemon when your are dynamically assigned an IP 
address.  

I'm pretty sure I can set it up using the handbook... I just didn't want to 
waste my time if I should first have a static IP.
-----

and a side question/furure refrence: in the hand book it gives this under 
<17.9.6.3 Zone Files>  (is the zone file generated from the named.conf file? or 
do I have to make it?)

    ; Machine Names
    localhost       IN A    127.0.0.1
    ns1             IN A    3.2.1.2
    ns2             IN A    3.2.1.3
    mail            IN A    3.2.1.10
    @               IN A    3.2.1.30
    

localhost I get.. umm when it comes to 3.2.1.2,3,10,30
i get a tad confused.. my config one of my NICs inet = 10.0.0.1  is that equiv 
to saying 3.2.1.2 (knowing that this address is obviously not real)

So will i be setting up some vhosts in my rc.conf to handle ns1,ns2 mail, @?

eg: 10.0.0.20 would be a vhost that i would use to replace ns1 IP in above zone 
file example?
