Found an interesting bit of RFC: " In general, a client does not need to send redundant data, and therefore clients which send the Client FQDN option in their messages MUST NOT also send the Host Name option. Clients which receive both the Host Name option and the Client FQDN option from a server SHOULD prefer Client FQDN option data." URL: http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-dhc-fqdn-option-13
So it sounds like sending both the hostname and the fqdn is wrong. One idea would be to only send fqdn.fqdn which according to the RFC should work fine as a replacement for hostname and should also be IPv6 compatible. Looking at the DHCPv6 FQDN RFC, partially qualified domain names are valid in fqdn.fqdn, so that could be a way around our problem. URL: http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc4704.txt I'll change dhclient.conf with the next upload to only contain fqdn.fqdn but won't push that as an SRU for the time being as I want to make sure we don't break things badly for some other users when dropping the hostname field. ** Changed in: isc-dhcp (Ubuntu Raring) Assignee: (unassigned) => Stéphane Graber (stgraber) ** Changed in: isc-dhcp (Ubuntu Quantal) Assignee: (unassigned) => Stéphane Graber (stgraber) ** Changed in: isc-dhcp (Ubuntu Raring) Status: New => Fix Committed -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1088682 Title: dhclient does not register hostname to dynamic DNS (AD) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/isc-dhcp/+bug/1088682/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
