Hi Alkis, I think you can use addn-hosts for name<=>IP address mapping and use dhcp-hostsfile just for mac address assignment to existing pair. But it prevents ability to create one file the other one, because primary data are split into two files. I guess creation of addn-hosts from dhcp-hosts by a script is the best solution available. I don't know about any way just with one line per host.
Perhaps a flag could be added to dhcp-range, requesting also addition of dhcp-hosts to static dns. Would it help if those hosts were assigned infinite TTL to add permanent hostnames for them, similar to addn-hosts record? I guess it would not hurt having permanent names on permanent leases.
