I believe what you are looking for is dynamic DNS. Windows uses its own protocol to talk to each other, meaning you dont even need a DNS server for a windows doamin to be able to talk to each other. We attempted to get dynamic DNS working at our office with no luck. However, we establish DHCP reservation and then put that IP and hostname in DNS. Resolves both ways now.
What you say isn't wrong per se, but dynamic DNS "normally" refers to a DNS zone set at an outside party, such as dyndns.org, easydns.com, etc. This is commonly used to update your DNS record for a server behind a dynamic IP connection such as cable modems or DSL.
to be pedantic, what he said was correct <http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc2136.html>
DDNS originally meant just that, making BIND and DNS work together.
