I don't see anything in the Linksys documentation which suggests it has the
ability to generate Dynamic Updates to a DNS server. What do you expect from
such a cheap device (don't take that personally: I use a Linksys too)? If you
already have a functional DNS server on your LAN, why don't you make it a
DHCP server as well and then you can integrate them together?

That's not really on-topic for this group. I'd ask whomever is doing this
caching (your ISP?).
