Where does it say that?  The examples only show updating the forward
domain, but that doesn't mean that other domains can't be updated.  The
last full sentence on page 231 says: "... DHCP servers that assign IP
addresses automatically to computers, and then need to register the
resulting name-to-address and address-to-name mappings."  Address-to-name
mappings are in reverse domains, so this implies that they need to update
these domains.
