So far I've been feeling like I'm the only one with any interest :-)
Stephen's was one of the solutions I looked at. Right now I'm considering
whether this approach (cron script, etc) would be better, or if I should
give BIND9/DHCPD3 a try. I'm leaning toward the latter as I try to avoid
customization whenever possible. I realize updating e-smith to BIND9/DHCPD3
is a customization of sorts, but overall the solution would be less of a
hack than adding cron scripts, etc.
Until I've had a chance to experiment with the new DNS/DHCP solutions, I
think I'll hold off on a scripted alternative.
