IBM's AIX and OS/2 Warp provide DHCP and Dynamic DNS
clients and servers which cooperate to keep the DNS
up-to-date with DHCP-allocated addresses.  We call
this system "Dynamic IP".  In Dynamic IP, a client
"owns" and updates its DNS A RR and DHCP servers
"own" and update the DNS PTR RRs for the addresses
they allocate.   It works really well, uses RSA digital
signature authentication on all DNS updates, and --
since the client "owns" his own A RR -- supports
mobility of clients across administrative domains
of authority.    Email me directly if you'd like more info.
