If your clients get their addresses from a DHCP server, and that DHCP
server will be running on FreeBSD - use the "isc-dhcp3" port. It
supports DDNS updates, as does the BIND version that comes with FreeBSD.
For a general client that can send DNS update requests to BIND, see
"man nsupdate."
The rest is a small matter of configuration :-)
