Open Stack

I think you're asking if it's possible for OpenStack to handle registering
each public IP assigned to an instance with a DNS service so that each
instance can be accessed by a hostname such as (instance name).mydomain.org
?

I don't think OpenStack handles this today.

If I were trying to assign host names to instances, I would look at a
script installed into the instance either as part of the image or part of
the first-boot setup.  I used a program called 'ddclient' in the past to do
this:

http://sourceforge.net/p/ddclient/wiki/Home/

It also appears to be included in at least Ubuntu distributions today, the
other major distributions probably have something similar.
