Well, the DHCP server is the go-between for the clients and the DNS
servers, *it's* configured to update the master DNS server, and the
master DNS server propagates records to its slaves.  If the master
server isn't there, it can't do so.  Slave DNS servers get their updates
from their master DNS servers, not from some other sort of server (e.g.
a DHCP server).  

What you'd need would be more than one non-slave DNS server, that's not
something that I've looked into at this time.
