  The cheap home-ADSL-routers  do not have enough configurability for a complete
DCHP-DNS integrated setup. 

two possibilities exists for  DNS-DHCP integration . 

1 )   Microsoft active directory DHCP and DNS
 
       ( this is probably not what we want to build as Solaris hackers ) 

2 ) ISC  BIND  ( DNS )  + ISC  DCHP  

    ISC BIND is already included in Solaris , However SUN is shipping their own 
   DHCP server so the integration between DNS and DCHP is probably not that good. 

http://www.isc.org/index.pl

So the ADSL Router can possible be configured to Always offer the same IP adress 
to specific MAC addresses from a Specific NIC, and therefore ensure that a PC 
always recives the same IP Adress.  But the ADSL Router cant ship this info 
off to a DNS server so that the IPadress gets associated with a name. 
You can ofcourse build a DNS service with Static content.  which will work 
with the ADSL-ROuters Static list of preconfigured MAC_to _IP DHCP service. 

However only the two case above will work with dynamically distributed IP adresses.
