Hello!
Is there any way to force clients to send their hostnames to dnsmask? The
default install of sarge don't put the "send hostname foobar" configuration
option in /etc/dhclient.conf, thus DNS can not resolve those clients. It
would be nice if dnsmasq could force the client to send its hostname. Is
this possible?
Not possible. There's nothing in the DHCP protocol that would allow
this. Note that the Debian package of dhcpcd does send the hostname by
default, so if you can arrange to use dhcpcd instead of dhclient that
would solve the problem.
