The DHCP request usually contains a "client identifier", which you can
configure dhcpd to use as the host name. You can also use the MAC

I think that client update can be enabled with a dhclient.conf
parameter, described in the manual for dhclient.conf(5) under "DYNAMIC
DNS", but I prefer to do it from my DHCP server instead...
