Operating Systems Linux Red Hat DHCP & DNS - Clients get IP but don't register in DNS Post 302594624 by cjcox on Tuesday 31st of January 2012 07:48:49 PM

The typical way (and likely THE way you'll have to do it unless totally bleeding edge)... is to configure the DCHP server to do TSIG updates to the DNS server. You have to configure both sides.... this uses an interim technique where a dhcp owernship hash is placed as a TXT record inside of DNS (just so you know who owns what). We run ISC BIND and DHCP here... it works and is a very reasonable solution.

For some hints (where some of the file format might be a tad old, but still)... here:
