Actually, it's dynamic DNS updates, plain and simple. MS DNS servers support it, as well as BIND 8 and above. You can actually make a perl script to do the update; "perldoc Net::DNS", and search for "dynamic update". Unfortunately, win2k and xp have "register this connection's addresses in DNS" enabled by default when creating a new network connection, so I constantly see peoples' machines trying to update the zone after they get an IP address.
