Dear Maintainer,

in an IPv4 network with DHCPv4 and Dynamic DNS, the DHCP client works
very well with the following default configuration in
/etc/dhcp/dhclient.conf:

...
option rfc3442-classless-static-routes code 121 = array of unsigned
integer 8;
send host-name = gethostname();
request subnet-mask, broadcast-address, time-offset, routers,
        domain-name, domain-name-servers, domain-search, host-name,
        dhcp6.name-servers, dhcp6.domain-search, dhcp6.fqdn,
dhcp6.sntp-servers,
        netbios-name-servers, netbios-scope, interface-mtu,
        rfc3442-classless-static-routes, ntp-servers;
...

However, in a pure IPv6 network with DHCPv6 (isc-dhcp-server) and
Dynamic DNS (bind9) I need to insert additional information as
workaround in order to update the name server correctly:

...
option rfc3442-classless-static-routes code 121 = array of unsigned
integer 8;
send host-name = gethostname();
send fqdn.fqdn "hostname.domain.local";
send fqdn.encoded on;
send fqdn.server-update on;
request subnet-mask, broadcast-address, time-offset, routers,
        domain-name, domain-name-servers, domain-search, host-name,
        dhcp6.name-servers, dhcp6.domain-search, dhcp6.fqdn,
dhcp6.sntp-servers,
        netbios-name-servers, netbios-scope, interface-mtu,
        rfc3442-classless-static-routes, ntp-servers;
...

It works, but it would be unusableto send hostname and domain namefor
computers (notebooks), which should be used in different IPv6 networks
configured with DHCPv6 and Dynamic DNS.

Please, can you consider this requirement?

Best regards,
Christian
