When you get nameservers from DHCP dhcdbd tells to named through DBUS that named should use them as forwarders and NetworkManager sets 127.0.0.1 as default nameserver in resolv.conf. So you could use named as caching-nameserver on laptops and you don't have to edit named.conf always when you move to different network. I think it makes sence add this feature to some light DNS server but not into named. It's simply too heavy-weight solution. Also upstream will never accept such feature because this is not primary BIND mission. Domain name modification should be done with nsupdate utility through DDNS update message which is part of DNS protocol.
