SIG(0) has miles of potential.  Active Directory shows that hosts updating 
their own addresses is useful.

SIG(0) provides a similar mechanism without the overhead of AD.   It actually 
works well today if you spend the time to hook it into a system.  What’s needed 
is for OS vendors to ship machines with support enabled.

Use AD if the machine is part of  a AD domain and this if it isn’t.
It really isn’t that hard to do it just requires OS developers to do it.
