I think this is describing something different, and is a way for the DHCP client to directly send a dynamic DNS update to the DNS server. In the OP's scenario, the DNS entries are updated by the DHCP server when it grants a lease to a named client. The question is, what info is the DHCP server receiving from Windows clients to enable this, that his CentOS client is failing to send? It might have to come down to sniffing the packets from each and comparing...
