well, since linksys has bundled the ISC DHCP server, perhaps you could ask
them to upgrade their bundle to a more recent version, that supports DNS
updates.  or you could disable the linksys dhcp function and run ISC DHCP
on what i'm sure is just one of many fine linux machines on your home net.

the point being, there's no new protocol work called for in this thread;
all you have to do is use the current features of current protocols, even
if you have to change vendors to do it.
