Heh!   I have to admit that it has its problems, but it seems like not 
a completely rotten idea.   In order for it to work nicely, you 
probably need an extra protocol, so that the DNS server doesn't have to 
be responsible for all the validation and bookkeeping, and so that you 
can have, *ahem*, leases on the PTR records, so that they get cleaned 
up when the registrant goes away.   I think we've pretty soundly 
rejected the idea that the DNS server might have such a mechanism.

But this seems more functional than a solution that doesn't involve any 
actual communication with the device that has autoconfigured.

All of the solutions we've talked about rely on the basic dynamic 
update mechanism, which I have to say works just fine for me (I wish 
more DHCP clients supported it, though).
