I was under the impression that BIND 8.x could be updated on
the fly, and that it could be set up to respond to discovery
messages from outside sources like other BIND 8.x servers,
and with some creative programming, or perl scripting, you
could make it talk to things like DHCP servers in order to
get host mappings to be automated in DNS.  (Kind of like the
automatic DNS updates in an all NT enviornment with DHCP)

I'm not sure how this could be applied to SAMBA
though...
