by default, BIND will ignore attempts by clients to register dynamic dns
after getting an ip address from dhcp - that is what is being logged.

You would have to 'allow-update' within a specific zone definition to
change default behavior.

FWIW - I think that DHCP/BIND and having clients update DNS makes a lot
of sense for an office intranet but hey, that's just me.
