local dns problem

Greetings;

My local home network runs with most of its machines having fixed 
addresses, referenced in their host files.

But I do have a dhcp server setup for when ever my lappy is powered up and 
logs in thru a wap11 from its builtin broadcom radio.

How can I rig my dns lookups so that I can still ssh into this lappy by its 
name, diablo.coyote.den when its given a dynamic address by dhcpd?  As it 
is, I have to goto the lappy and run an ifconfig to find its address and 
ssh to that.  Cumbersome.

Cheers, Gene
People having trouble with vz bouncing email to me should add the word
'online' between the 'verizon', and the dot which bypasses vz's
stupid bounce rules.  I do use spamassassin too. :-)
