[geeks] synchronizing dhcp and bind

[James Fogg]

One way to do this is run a Winders based DHCP/DNS box. It does updates
automagically.
/me runs away

Seriously, we did this at Vicinty using Solaris, but I don't remember how. It
involved an include in the zone file. I still have the zone files somewhere.

I frequently add and remove machines from my network, and it would be
nice if I did not have to manually update dhcpd.conf and the DNS entries
every time.

It's annoying every time I want to change IP->name mappings to have to
do it in both bind configuration and dhcpd.

Is there some way to tell dhcpd to use DNS to find the IP addresses,
given a fixed hostname, instead of using a fixed IP address?

Have I missed something obvious?
