I have no idea, but this sounds plausible. Maybe NetBSD needs to update
their man pages. They say it works, but give the caveat of the whole
thing being subject to change.

What's really the difference between managing the IP addresses in dhcpd
and doing it in bind?

Seems there are far more tools for managing DNS than dhcp...

What's the advantage of having dhcpd update DNS rather than just getting
the IP from DNS?
