Hi Da Rock,
It will much better if you draw your network diagram or explain it
because some network devices support DDNS suck as Linksys, I have
found this links explain how to configure DDNS on FC4 it should be
same:

http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-networking-3/dynamic-dns-se...
http://sipx-wiki.calivia.com/index.php/HowTo_Configure_DHCP_and_DNS_Servers
I hope they are useful...

My clients send their own hostnames (there is a reason for
this).
According to all information available on the matter the
dhclient.conf
is where you need to set the dhclient -H option for
automation. And I
have tested this option manually and it works. So what do I
have to hack
to stop the stupid scripting from overriding this? Even the
scripting
information says to customise the conf file... but this
doesn't work.
Apparently the networking hasn't changed much since FC4, but
if it
matters I'm running 8.
I'd really rather not have to put up all my config for security reasons.
Especially considering that by running the dhclient manually actually
works (-H AND -cf). The problem exists in the enormous complexity of
network scripts that Fedora uses. It simply refuses to read the
dhclient.conf- so why would that be?
