A slightly different angle, which just came up on the redhat-users ML a
couple of days ago; which might work is :

	-> All DHCP leases get an account created on your internal DNS
	   resolver.
	-> Your firewall refreshes your ruleset by only allowing a range
	   of DHCP IP ranges, which have a corresponding DNS forward &&
	   reverse entry.

This is similar to Win2K functionality whereby all DHCP addresses get an
automatic DNS entry created. Someone mentioned that ISC's DHCP package
supports such functionality, you might want to take a look.

There will be some scripting involved, as Matt has already allured to.
