I have a dhcp in my home and I would like to setup a dns server too. I would like to implement a linux solution but I think I can't get hands on without understanding - very superficially - if I can achieve such result.

My pc (hostname: test) gets a 192.168.1.7 from dhcp. Its dns server is my router (192.168.1.1). How can the router relate my ip change (as soon as the lease is over) to my hostname?
