Bind and local hostnames

I set up a new computer to be my home router the other day. I have dhcp and bind running on it. Everything works fine except that none of the computers know who eachother are. Is there a way to get bind to use the info from dhcpd's lease files? I've been looking around and can't find any info.

Thanks in advance for any help.

You can set things up so the DHCP server will dynamically update BIND whenever it issues a new lease but it's rather complicated (see http://www.ops.ietf.org/dns/dynupd/secure-ddns-howto.html for details). I'm sure I've seen some combined DHCP/DNS servers in portage (which would be easier to configure) but I can't seem to find them now
