You do that a lot different then I do.
I was thinking you entered each machines Mac Address into the conf file.
That is the only way I know how to do it
If you do it this way you can still let the IP address be assigned
Dynamically (I sense your after that)
But you'll have to manually enter IP address and the name would be
statically assigned to the Mac Address.
For example
host WS18 {
filename "/lts/nameof.yourfile.here";
hardware ethernet 00:00:BB:99:AA:A0;
}
This is the only way I can think of doing it.
Unless you can make something like this work
Snippet from dhcpserver mailing list
The DHCP server automatically derives the hostname if there is some basis
for it to do so - e.g., if the client sent a host-name option. It does
not make up a hostname out of whole cloth. You can do something like this:
option ddns-hostname = pick (option fqdn.hostname, option host-name,
concat ("foo-", binary-to-ascii (10, 8,
leased-address, "-")));
This will take the IP address granted to the client, separate each octet
with a "-", and whack that onto the end of the string "foo-", but only if
the client doesn't provide its own hostname. leased-address probably
doesn't work with fixed-address declarations, though, so if you're
providing the host with a static allocation, you may need to do something
different.
This is from Ted Lemon.
