PS: i dont have named installed as i use the ISP's dns, may that be the cause?
Since you are not running your own dns then you don't need dynamic dns updates enabled. When dynamic dns updates are turned on dhcpd can update a zone in named with the hostname for the ip handed out. The benefits of running your own dns server is that you can access systems in your network by name and not ip.
