Totally...so another update policy that doesn't begrudge pre-existing
names (for example for delegated zones that are for dynamic clients
only, so there's no chance for bad behaviour taking over names) would
be good.

But it needs to be spelled out in documentation and non-default.

I don't want to risk giving you a date that's complete fantasy, but
I would be surprised if this feature didn't materialize with some
expediency either during or shortly after the v6 work.

I seem to recall someone wrote some perl to do this not long
ago...was on the dhcp-server mailing list I think.

Complete with ISC-interoperable bugs.
