I've also verified one other permutation: dhclient.conf: send fqdn.fqdn = gethostname(); dhcpd6.conf: ddns-hostname = option fqdn.fqdn; ddns-domainname "example.org"; This also works, but it seems wrong to have the unqualified hostname in fqdn.fqdn. However, Ubuntu temporarily tried that and then stopped doing it: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/isc-dhcp/+bug/1088682 Ideally, dhcpd6 should be able to accept the "option host-name" value sent by Debian and Ubuntu and it's not clear why it doesn't accept that value -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
