Windows servers pass to a DHCP server their hostname which can be used to register them dynamically with DNS. By default, linux dhcp clients don't do this. For example, with "dhcpcd" you need to pass it the "-h hostname" parameter to get it to register with dynamic DNS services associated with windows DHCP or ISC's dhcpd. David
