| Well if you really need a GUI, there's dhcpsconf, but Im pretty sure it's not a Java but a plain old X-windows application.

In aix433, you get to choose between bind4 and bind8, and starting with aix52 you can even choose bind9. You can switch between them by making the symlinks in /usr/sbin point to the correct named version. Im not sure in which named version ISC introduced DDNS support, but as long as you stick with that version you should be fine. The AIX dhcp daemon however, unfortunately is not ISC's dhcp daemon but their own implementation at least in aix433. According to the documentation though it should support DDNS just fine as well.
