Hello.
I have Cobbler setup and working nicely, but a new usage scenario has shown up 
for me.
I'll need to be able to deploy hosts using DHCP and having the host register 
itself using DDNS and TSIG. One problem here is that there are several 
different TSIG keys for different subdomains, so there will be some 
conditionals.
I also have Puppet running so worst case I could do it with that, but what 
would be really neat would be setting the hostname during the kickstart and 
having it register immediately so that you could just SSH into the host using 
the hostname right away.

Right now I'm thinking about having a script ask for the hostname and domain 
name in two separate reads, then doing a case statement to determine the TSIG, 
and finally using a here document to write the dhclient.conf so the host would 
register when it comes up after the post-install reboot.
Does this seem like a sensible approach or am I missing some nifty builtin 
function that could handle this better?

We're using ISC BIND/DHCPD and I just upgraded to Cobbler 2.2 by the way.

Regards
Johan Sunnerstig
