And we have our DHCP give out IP by MAC addresses, so they're effectively static.
If you've done that, you might as well put them in DNS. Linux tools

Um, no can do: we don't run the DNS here on campus (a US gov't federal agency), we have blocks of IPs assigned to us. Within our division, we control the horizontal, we control the vertical.... <g>
If you are giving out DHCP addresses, you are almost certainly giving out DNS server addresses, and you can point that to one or more that you control (probably on the same box(es) as the dhcp service). And
Les, you're missing the point: we are not *supposed* to be running a DNS server. There's another division that does that, the same one that assigns us the blocks of IP addresses. Please don't confuse me with the OP.
