dynamic page references within document

I am working on a small binder style book that has 8 sections. The project is destined to be updated frequently and the client only wants to reprint the appropriate sections. So the question is, within the body text are numerous page references that will need to be updated as the page count potentially changes. I would like to use a section page numbering format (eg. 1-1, 1-2,...2-1, 2-2,...etc) to avoid conflicts with the TOC. Is there a way to tag the page references (see page 3-12 for more info) so that they will update themselves automatically, rather than having to find and replace them each time. I'm not even sure what this feature would be called.

Thanks for your help.

Not easily with CS3. CS4 has native cross referencing built in.

dtptools.com has a cross-reference plug-in for ID CS2, 3, and 4.
