IN THE SCOPE options, not so much the DHCP server itself.

Fix the scope.

the clients themselves can register directly with DNS instead of the DHCP
server registering the name with DNS. This is supposed to be a security
enhancement. I totally understand how that can increase security, however
until I'm on AD, this doesn't seem realistic. I want to try to avoid making
changes manually (or by login script) on these 5000+ clients. The changes
can be controled easily via GPO once I've migrated to AD.
Yes, they can but so can DHCP if you just adjust the settings
on the scope (usually).
This will give the correct suffix to the clients AND fixup the
DDNS.

the MS DNS. Based on documentation from MS, the settings I have made should
make the DHCP server register both A records and PTR records.
