DNS only shows windows machines

Hey, we currently have a device we sell that runs an embedded Linux system. That being said we are having these devices register a DHCP address over the network with no issues and currently are pointing these devices to the DNS. Our DHCP is properly forwarding all IP’s to the DNS. However, our devices are not showing in the DNS forward lookup zone. Which they will need to in order for our system to work. Do all records in the DNS forward lookup zone need to be a windows machine? I say this because our iphones are not showing up in the dns. Or is it because they must be added to the domain?

If I manually add a static host (a) address to the lookup zone our device and software function without issues. However, this will cause problems if DHCP ever needs to change the IP address and I don’t want to do that. Any help would be appreciated.
