Updating DNS using nsupdate and key based authentication will work, if
you *must* have dynamic ip addressing, but I wouldn't use it unless I
had more machines than addresses.  Apart from anything else, I've found
it to be a tad flakey (at least with current versions of BIND).

But you've got quite enough IP addresses that you can have static leases
for each system.  What is the problem with that?
