It will be much better when the OS's just register themselves in
the DNS.  Humans shouldn't have to do this when a machine renumbers.
Named can already authenticate PTR updates based on using TCP and
the source address of the update.  For A/AAAA records you setup a
cryptographically strong authentication first.
