Not an issue if he only has one DHCP server OR if
his DHCP servers have never registered the record
(they aren't yet fighting over it.)

The point of the credentials is to give all of the
DHCP servers which might ever update the record
the same account so the record will (effectively) be
owned in common.

He has something else wrong as I understood him --
something where the record doesn't get created to start....
