Coordinating dhcpd and bind

[Jeffrey Goldberg]

For some local networks, I run dhcpd using assigning fixed IP address  
based on the client MAC.  I am also running bind for the local  
networks.  At some sites where I am doing this, I'm using webmin for  
maintaining DNS (or I actually have my clients doing this).  I've  
don't use or recommend webmin for DHCPd since I've just had too many  
problems with it, so that is maintained by hand.

Naturally I'd like to coordinate this activity.  When a new host is  
added, it would be nice to ensure that the name and IP assigned in  
DHCP is the same that is done with DNS.

I could write my own script for this, but I'm sure that similar  
scripts have been written a thousand times, 980 of which are better  
than I would write.  Is there anything in ports or elsewhere that  
people could recommend.

(Some of the sites where I need this are mostly Linux based, but will  
be moving to FreeBSD over time).
