Dear folks,
In our name server, which was bind-8.2.2_P7 (now bind-8.2.3), we have
records under $ORIGIN tycm.vtc.edu.hk.tycm.vtc.edu.hk.tycm.vtc.edu.hk.
and $ORIGIN tycm.vtc.edu.hk.tycm.vtc.edu.hk. We want all hosts to be
host.ycm.vtc.edu.hk. The problem is that we have been using
dhcp-3.0b2pl11 and some hosts have hostnames that include the domain
name, some have not. What I'd really like to do is to just pick the
characters before the left-most dot (or end of string) that the host
gives as its hostname, and append that to the domain name held in
dhcpd.conf, and use that as the fully qualified hostname.
Now in dhcp-3.0b2pl16,
* which method (if any) provides such a method for determining the
final hostname? (no, it is not clear to me from the docs)
* if neither, is there a way of using the language of dhcpd-eval to
get the characters to the left of the left-most decimal point?
I am using TXT records for each host already.
