MS dynamic DNS supports static and dynamic entries in same zone?

Because you can restrict the updates to just the DHCP Server which you would
normally control.  You have absolutely NO control over any of the individual
clients. A DHCP Server will add or delete only those records for addresses that
it allocates and no other.  Access control is only at the zone level and 
not the
individual Record level.  A client with access could register itself as the web
server for example, or delete the web server records. For that matter a virus-
infected Windows client could go ahead and delete all of the records in the
DDNS zones.
