It does if you configure bind to ONLY accept updates through DHCPD
(nsupdate). So, one could disable W2K/XP boxes from sending the DDNS update
to your DNS server and still implement DDNS updates through DHCPD. That's
what I do.

To my knowledge, only W2K and XP boxes send DDNS update requests directly to
a DNS server. Win9x and linux boxes do not send DDNS update requests
(although I believe dhclient can be configured to send DDNS requests).
With this in mind, man dhcpd.conf has a good example on how to configure
both dhcpd and bind for DDNS updates. If needed, I can post the relevant
parts of my dhcpd.conf/named.conf files with regards to implementing DDNS.
