Nope - just setup a process whereby DNS is updated dynamically by DHCP.

You can either:

1) download, compile and install DHCP 3.0 (as has been mentioned on this
list today), or
2) download and install DHCP-DNS - a set of Perl scripts which do the
job.

My own preference is for DHCP-DNS, (until Red Hat releases an RPM with
DHCP 3.0) but YMMV.

If you want to go the DHCP-DNS route, send me an email, and I'll show
you how I set it up.
