If DHCP clients are doing the dynamic DNS updates, then what I said is
irrelevant.
If the DHCP server is doing the dynamic DHCP updates for the clients, then
the DHCP server can be configured as shown (in /etc/dhcpd.conf) to tell
them what DNS server to use. I use this because I trust the server more
than the clients, but I am sure there are more trade offs to consider.
