Well, the update requests could ALSO come from the dhcp server itself. Whenever 
a DHCP request arrives on the DHCP server it could return an IP address and a 
hostname to the DHCP client, PLUS it (the DHCP server) could register this name 
with the nameserver.

I don't know whether this actually WORKS this way, but at least it COULD work 
this way, couldn't it?!
