Considering you're on OS with an old ISC dhclient code not having dynDNS
updates support in base, like OpenBSD or DFBSD (they've imported this
particular OBSD code) for example, and you don't want to use vanilla ISC
version by some reason.

You may use this simple patch then:

You need to have BIND tools installed to make it work.
