ISC DHCP/DDNS setup: Static entries for non-dhcp clients

I have set up a local network with ISC BIND9 and DHCP service. New leases trigger the DHCP to add an A and PTR record which works perfectly.

I also added lots of static host entries in the dhcpd.conf. Now I noticed that the DDNS update only works for clients that actually request a lease from the DHCP server. I have a few devices in the network that do not support DHCP. I still added static entries in the dhcp.conf. For those, no lease is requested and now no DNS-records are created. What options do I have to add those static entries in a way that DNS-records get created?

I would prefer to only use the dhcpd.conf if possible. Greatly appreciate any suggestions!
