This is still in the protocol definition stage by the IETF. In the
Internet Area, Dynamic Host Configuration working group, there is an
internet draft that defines a potential protocol to allow DHCP clients and
servers to update DNS servers using the Dynamic DNS Updates (RFC2136)
mechanism. BIND Version 8 has the dynamic updates RFC2136 so it is there.
The DHCP clients or servers would have to be modified to use this to
update DNS, but I don't think this can happen until the aforementioned
internet draft is finalized into an RFC.
