Is this possible? DHCP / DNS related.

Well, I have permission to run the server, as I'm a CS major and it's
an independent project I'm working on, so that's not a problem. I
had already gone to dyndns.com and have a name associated with it that
way, I was just wondering if there was a way to make some sort of
end-run on the campus dns and get it listed as a subdomain without
adding a record in the campus dns. But it doesn't look like there is
Thanks though,
