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:

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.
