In the network where I work we have frequent situations where people setup a virtual to try something new out and want to tell others (within the same network) about their experiments.

For this kind of situation I would like to introduce an additional (sub)domain and let these people hook a hostname to their virtual similar to what internet based services like DynDNS do. I.e. the virtuals have a script that periodically updates their dns entry as they may have gotten a new IP from the internal DHCP server.

So far I've been unable to find a 'ready to run' opensource solution (for me it should run on Linux) that can simply be installed on the LAN. (I'm probably no using the the right search terms.)

I did find this http://nexus.zteo.com/blog/your-own-dynamic-dns-in-3-steps/ but that requires giving the key to update the entire domain to everyone in the LAN.

What solutions have I missed ? Or writing up my own implementation the real way to go?

This is the way to go for you, you won't need any keys. You do need to setup all the clients in the network to use this internal DNS by giving it's IP.
