Sorry, but I doubt that any ISP in their right mind is going to allow
users with machine names that they get to set themselves to do dynamic
updates.

We have enough issues with crazies playing in the whois data to show

Before anyone says it, yes, I know it's a different use/mechanism, but
the mentality of the abuser will be the same (or worse).
