Maybe I'm dense, but could someone explain to me what problem this
solves?  The assignments are dynamic, but the mapping between the IP
address and its A record -- which is what DNS does -- is static, and has
nothing to do with whether the address is currently in use.

So I guess I don't see the point here, unless perhaps we're trying to 
alias DHCP_HOSTNAME to an IP address on-the-fly, which sounds dicey, 
since you'd be introducing potential namespace conflicts.
