Both Bind (named) and dhcpd can be tricky to configure. And it would seem to be natural that getting them to talk to each other for dynamic DNS updates would be convoluted. I know I thought so, and so did Matt, who provides his config files to help hapless hackers like me.
In reality, if you have a working dhcpd config, and a working Bind config, everything you need to get dhcp client names in to DNS ![[WikiPedia]](http://www.mikeyp.com/css/external.gif)
via Bind is described in the man file for dhcpd.conf. Just look for the section titled DYNAMIC DNS UPDATE SECURITY and copy the example code in to your dhcpd.conf and named.conf files. Restart both deamons, and shazaam, you can address all of the dhcp clients on your network by name.
