secure dynamic updates. This feature forces DNS to integrate with Active Directory so that any computer creating records on the DNS server must be a member of the AD domain. This is configurable by right clicking a zone in the DNS management MMC snap-in and going to properties.

Does DHCP update DNS?

If configured to make DNS updates, the DHCP server attempts to update DNS with the client’s suggested host name.

I personally prefer to work with hostnames instead of ip-addresses. If you have anything like freeipa or active directory, it will do that for you by registering the client you added to your realm to the managed dns and edit the records dynamically.
