See the "DYNAMIC DNS UPDATES" section of the dhcpd.conf manpage for ISC DHCP v3.x. <http://ajorge.org/cgi-bin/man2html?dhcpd.conf#lbAP>.

See also section 4.1 of the BIND 9 Administrators Reference Manual <http://www.nominum.com/content/documents/bind9arm.pdf>. Or whatever documentation comes with your DNS server and DHCP server if you use different ones.

It's not too hard (though I've never done it) and when it's done right there's no script to write, it just works.

I would like this as well, currently I have to punch each computer into
the DNS zonefile.  I was thinking of making some type of script that
would do it(edit the zonefile), but I'd rather it be easier & with DHCP.

I have a small home network of three computers. And on occasion a 4th

bear.  I want it dynamically updated.  (when a new DHCP address is
issued it updates the DNS.  So I can reference every computer on the
network by it's name. and not ip address

Anyone have experience doing this or could point me to a tutorial?
