Bacula has a commant (I think it's called setip) which clients can use
to tell the director their IP (if they have access to do it). I'm not
very familiar with it so try hitting the manual if you need more
information.

Myself, I simply linked the DNS and DHCP servers so that clients
register can their dynamic addresses at the DNS server. My Bacula daemon
then simply uses the hostnames to find them.
