The DHCP tables store IP addresses rather than names; so you do store the IP address and fix that onthe DHCP server. >If I can I'd like to only tell the DHCP server what hostname is >associated with each MAC address, and have the DHCP server resolve the >hostname to an IP before sending a reply. You can tell the IP address, not the name. >Is that possible?

If the address can change, it cannot be a permanent lease. If the addresses are static, then the lease can be permanent.
