Public bug reported:
DHCPv6 does not have a host-name option to send the client hostname to
register with the DHCP server. There are several potential options
here:
1) Use the same "magic" to insert the hostname via fqdn.fqdn (i.e. "send
fqdn.fqdn "<hostname>";" This should work with DHCPv4 as well.
2) Backport the gethostname() functionality from DHCP 4.2.
3) Upgrade to isc-dhcp-client 4.2.
Perhaps some of these are more appropriate to consider for the Q cycle.
Personally, I think option 1 (implementing "<hostname>" magic) for
fqdn.fqdn would be the least intrusive.
As issues go, this is admittedly minor.
