The main (and oldest) server has 

[root at eddie ~]# rpm -qa|grep bind
bind-chroot-9.5.0-29.P2.fc8
rpcbind-0.1.4-13.fc8
bind-9.5.0-29.P2.fc8
bind-utils-9.5.0-29.P2.fc8
bind-libs-9.5.0-29.P2.fc8
ypbind-1.20.4-4.fc8
kdebindings-dcopperl-3.5.10-1.fc8
[root at eddie ~]# rpm -qa|grep dhcp
libdhcp-1.27-4.fc8
dhcpv6-client-0.10-52.fc8
dhcp-3.0.6-12.fc8
libdhcp4client-3.0.6-12.fc8
libdhcp6client-0.10-52.fc8
[root at eddie ~]# 


I'm currently using a script that parses the DHCP logs and updates my Bacula 
config files with IP addresses. Because of problems with multiple reload 
requests to the bacula-dir I want to change to using the DNS.

Another google has shown me the nsupdate command. I'm going to have a look at 
using that to do the updates.

Is there a way of configuring the BIND name servers so that if I update one 
DNS server that it updates the others?
