The normal way to do this would be for dhcp to update a DNS server 
whenever it allocated an IP. It would also provide nameserver info to 
the client and dhclient would update your /etc/resolve.conf

This has the added advantage that *all* dynamic addresses would then be 
resolvable.

This is kinda OT for this list, isn't it?
