hi,

here what i have done for dhcp is simply point the /etc/resolv.conf to 
the nameservers ip addresses of the cable providers dns.. domain to the 
domain that is resolved for dynamic addresses. It works just fine.
here is what i think is being asked. i am sure i will be corrected if 
i am wrong:-) the requestor wants to use the dhcp assigned address 
as if it were a static ip address so that they might register a 
domainname. AFAIK this can't be done since you must be assigned the 
addresses from arin or equivalent. What could be done is to use a 
dhcp dns service and after setting up have it redir ports according 
to the service requested to simulate in a nat sort of way the various 
services they wish to offer off of a single dhcp address. But nothing 
beats IMHO having your own assigned addresses. But if you are not a 
isp you are out of luck here.. Otherwise you will need to goto a isp 
that is willing to lend you a few addresses for external usage.
Here is what i would like to do so if anyone has a url that steps through 
the ps please don't hesitate. I would like to setup split dns for 8.xx 
anyone have the url handy?
