What I would recommend instead, is to ditch Bind.

Use djbdns from http://cr.yp.to/djbdns/ for name resolution. It is 
(relatively) simple to migrate to and it is much better than Bind.
Then use this script: 
http://www.thismetalsky.org/magic/projects/dhcp_dns.html to update DNS 
when the workstations obtain their addresses via DHCP.
