I   have ~30 dumb  video  terminals  (well okay, not   *that*  dumb, but
dumb-ish),  all  centrally managed with  cfengine (http://cfengine.org).
I'm using DHCP  for the IP  address assignment, and  figured that dyndns
was the  easiest way of keeping track  of who's who, and  when I  add or
subtract machines I don't have to think too  much about it - just choose
a hostname, kickstart the  install, and go drink  some coffee.  Plus I'd
never played with it before and wanted a chance to ;)
