on the server side i presume you mean? it's possible on dhcpd 3.0+check the docs that are out there. i've tried in the recent past and had no success at all though! There are proprietry solutions availble though... but presumably you want open source.
I may not have asked the question right. In Windows when a client receives a lease from a DHCP server. The server updates the name to IP address on the DNS server. This makes it easy. I was wondering it there is a way to set this up using BIND and DHCP on a Linux box? Sorry for the confusion.
tangle.. that was the question i tried to answer... you also need to make sure you send a hostname from the client (DHCP_HOSTNAME=whatever in ifcfg-ethX). you will need a lot of security stuff in there though, which is where i got stuck.
