I had a go at getting dynamic DNS working and failed.

The way that I managed to get this working was to write a perl script that 
monitors (tail -f basically) the DHCPD logs and then edits the client config 
file and forces the director to reload.

This method also means that I can trigger other actions when a user's laptop 
is connected, such as updating my inventory database, triggering bacula 
backup jobs depending on which subnet (site) the laptop is on.

If you're interested, I could post some code.
