The 3.0b1pl13 ISC server supports some features for dynamic DNS
update.  The 8.2.2-p5 BIND supports dynamic updates as defined in
RFC-2136.  I've only begun to play with this.

For my current uses I put something like:

    $GENERATE 150-200 $ ptr dhcp$.i.foo.com.

in my in-addr.arpa zone file and

    $GENERATE 150-200 dhcp$ a 192.168.1.$

in my foo.com zone file.
