Hey, sorry I didn't notice this earlier...I have this working on my home
network with Bering 1.2.  (I assume it works other versions of Bering as
well):

My firewall is running DHCPD, tinydns, and dnscache.  DHCP is set up so
a few machines get static addresses, the rest get dynamic.  dnscache &
tinydns work together to handle DNS requests.  Now, the key is that I'm
using a script, dhcp_2_dns.sh, to copy information about DHCP leases
into the tinydns file.

You can get that script here:
http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=628812&group_id=13751&atid=213751

I believe I have it set up to run dhcp_2_dns when tinydns starts, and
every 5 minutes (so it might take 5 minutes between when a lease is
given out and when it shows up in DNS)

If you want more details let me know...
