ISC BIND 8+ does DDNS from the the DNS side.
ISC DHCP 3 (Currently in beta) does it from the DHCP side.
http://www.isc.org/ for both.
No idea how good they are though. DDNS is something which can be very,
very fundamentally flawed if it's not done right (hint: consider what
happens if someone calls their computer the same thing as your server.

Doesn't work so well on a 7k node network (about 5k active DHCP leases at
any one time), but if you're just talking a few hosts it's often a nice way
to go.
