Or, it might be more efficient to setup dynamic dns (using bind>=9.0, 
isc dhcp>=3.0), so that if a dhcp request succeeds, the dhcp server 
updates DNS for you. You would probably break even at about 25 hosts in 
terms of setup time, if you have the required versions of bind and dhcp 
available.

Sorry for the cross-post, I'm subscribed in digest, and I can't see who 
started the thread ...
