I have a linux server doing my DNS and DHCP, (suse 9.3). I would like to know if a computer get a new IP from the DHCP server will the change be made in DNS table, like windows when a camputer get a new IP the change will show in the DNS table. Can any one tell me if that can change.

it won't unless you configure it this way, of course

See: man dhcpd.conf

Search for DYNAMIC DNS. It's actually a pretty good chapter with examples for both dhcpd.conf and named.conf. Even has the command to generate the key used between dhcpd and named so those damn windows clients won't update DNS. i.e. Only dhcpd can update DNS.
