Dynamic DNS: having the DHCP server update the DNS server with A, AAAA, PTR, and (well, uh... more PTR) records for each client that registers with it (and which sends a hostname in the request, of course, but AFAIK this is the default for windows, and is possible with flags to dhcpcd; never looked into dhclient). I dislike having the DHCP client update DNS on its own, because (a) that requires some sort of authentication to do correctly (rather than just a shared key between the DHCP and DNS servers, which is what I have now), and (b) nothing cleans up the DNS records when the leases expire (say, the machine goes hard down because someone unplugs it).
