Yes, I can.

The ISC's DHCP server (www.isc.org) does this (I'm not sure whether it
uses MD5 to encode the client identity or not). Ted might know for sure.

It does, though it only encodes the client identity (client identifier
option or chaddr), it does not include the FQDN like the current DHCID
draft does.

There are a few niggling bits that are different, and obviously
incompatible (not just because it's encoded as hexadecimal in a TXT
record), but on all points that are topical to this discussion it's
the same.
