If you want a commercial package that does this, then there is one from
Integralis call NTS Shadow. It is a Dynamic DNS and does exactly this -
not cheap though! Take a look at www.nts.com for more info.

from whichever consortium maintains these (sorry have a mind block at
the moment) does or soon will support this kind of interaction between
DHCP and DNS.
