That actually should be no problem at all. However, I did not try it
yet.
You might want to take a look into RedHat's init scripts that do DHCP.
When I tried out RedHat a few weeks ago, I was impressed that RedHat
not only accepted the IP number offered by DHCP but also did a reverse
DNS lookup and set the host name to what was stored in the DNS.
However, I was not able to actually understand these scripts.
Doing stuff like that should be possible with Debian too.
