Can the DHCP server register a name/address in DNS?

Question

Is there a way to get the XG firewall to register an address in DNS when it assigns it to a host in DHCP? For example, on my Windows A/D at work, when a computer (or phone, or whatever) gets a DHCP address, it tells DNS to add a record so I can ping my device by hostname. i.e. My laptop's name is 'bob'. On a Windows DHCP/DNS setup I can ping bob and it will resolve the IP address and reply back. I'm hoping the XG firewall can provide a similar service and I just haven't figured out how to do it. 
 Thanks!

Darhl, 
 XG cannot talk with dns in order to create a record A on a dns zone. 
 This is a Microsoft feature when you both use dhcp and dns from Microsoft.

Darhl, 
 at the moment you can link and name when you create a dhcp reservation or if you create a dns hostname, but it is still something manually. Hope to get an improvement on that. 
 At the moment there are no details available on this argument. Please open a feature request on ideas.sophos.com.
