Not sure how to phrase this.
I am running dnsmasq. I generally assign IP address via:
dhcp-host=00:04:13:34:22:38,snom_300_phone
so that when a device with mac address: 00:04:13:34:22:38 requests an ip
address the name from that dhcp-host record is returned.
Of devices where I don't have a pre-assigned ip address, I see in the logs:

when a device boots up and requests an ip address.
In this particular case, I see that 10.12.15.129 is assigned AND that
the device sends: "*client provides name: ecoflow*".
Is there any dnsmasq setting that tells the server it's ok to give the
assigned address ( 10.12.15.129 ) the client provided name - ecoflow -
in this case.
The device gets the 10.12.15.129 address assigned but the hostname
ecoflow is not allocated anywhere.
ping ecoflow or host ecoflow or ping ecoflow.mydomain.net, etc don't
cause the 10.12.15.129 address to be resoved so all I get is:
Host ecoflow not found: 3(NXDOMAIN)
How can I get my dnsmasq server to use the 'client provides name:' data
sent with the original DHCP request?
