DNS resolution on laptops that move between networks

Hello,

I was wondering how other folks deal with this:

Our laptop users occasionally work in different buildings throughout
the day. Each building is on a different subnet. They may use
wireless or plug in. As such, they may get 3 or 4 IP leases during
the day.

The problem is, when we try to reach a user's machine by name, DNS
usually resolves an older (wrong) IP address.

How should we be configured so that DNS always resolves the most
current DHCP lease for that hostname?

This is a Windows 2003 domain with 4 Windows 2003 DHCP/DNS/WINS
servers spread across 2 buildings. Services are pretty much at
defaults.

The clients generally have XP SP2 with two NICs (wired and wireless,
their choice)

Any insight / tips from the field would be appreciated, thanks!
