I am working on. I will need to look into that.

This is what I was envisioning, never got too far into this so don't
laugh ;)

Create a method (function) that would update a DNS server something
like the following:

void UpdateDnsServer( char *systemName, unsigned long ipAddress);

It would then send a network message to the DNS server that would cause
the server to add the relationship so that any future DNS queries would
resolve <systemName> to <ipAddress>.


If the problem is the floating address from DHCP,
the standard solution is to use the DHCP server
as the main DNS server also, and make the updates
inside the server.

Another method is the update protocol used by the
dynamic DNS providers (e.g. http://www.dyndns.org/).
