Actually, I know bind can do dynamic dns, but I've never set it up, and I've heard that it's not a walk in the park. What I do here is have standard dns zones for lan.lan, and for 192.168.x.x, and do dynamic dns that way. Say for example that a machine is initially assigned 192.168.0.5 by the dhcp server, which would give it the name of pc-guest-5.lan.lan on my lan domain. Then, say that machine refreshes it's ip assignment a few hours later, and gets 192.168.0.12, in which case it's host name becomes pc-guest-12.lan.lan. This isn't dynamic dns per say, but it does the job all the same.
