if you don't want to use the beta DHCP server, there are alternatives.

i've used dhcp-dns 0.5 on several machines, and it works. it's a set of
perl scripts which use bind 8's dynamic update features.

takes about 5 minutes to set up.

there are a few other programs around which do similar things but this
seems the best of them.


it's GPL-ed, so i might package it.
