Via several options:

1.  First and foremost, those naming conventions
2.  Reserved MAC address for blocks of the IP subnet
3.  Historical MAC address assignment of the name/IP
4.  Digital signatures of the client (both BIND 9 and
  reverse engineered ADS-DNS)

These is just some of many approaches that can _only_ be accomplished
in an unified layer 2 + layer 3 server.
