There's a much simpler way to do it.  Just created forward and
reverse zone files for the range of IP addresses you have, such that
host one is 192.168.1.1, host 2 is 192.168.1.2, etc.  Regardless
of what IP address a given host is dynamically assigned, it will
have a DNS sentry associated with it.

Or if you'd like them to have the same entry every time, you
can do as BOTi suggested and assign static IPs via DHCP.
