I can tell it has been a long weekend here; I find myself agreeing with Mark Andrews. Where do the forward records for these random devices come from? Signed, Confused
They get configured though front panels, touch screens, usb connections, over the network using mDNS for initial discovery, usinge a games connector and the TV screen, etc. There are lots of way to do this. This is a solved problem as people have been providing devices with names for about as long as the devices have existed. The only difference is that they give the device a fully qualified name instead of a unqualified name. They use TSIG to authenticate the UPDATES to the forward zone which is probably what your DHCP server is using today to authenticate the updates it sends and one of the methods DynDNS supports to update the zones it serves.
