  You can tell your DNS server to claim authority for whatever you
want, and as long as your DNS clients are using that DNS server for
all lookups, you'll get what you told it to say.  So claim authority
for new zones, named <host1.thisclient.com>,  <host2.thisclient.com>,
etc., and put in the A records at the origin level.  Any time their IP
addresses change, they'll have to tell you.

  Yup.

  (Aside: This is yet another example of why split DNS is a bad idea.
Too bad for you, your client doesn't know that.)
