Hi all; I wonder if you have some thoughts about this. I would like to get a foolproof indication on the DHCP server that each of my DHCP clients has booted. For my systems, there's a 1-1 correspondence between a DHCP request/ack sequence and a boot (my leases are infinitely long and my clients run only once, to get the lease, then exit). I'd like to notify a 3rd application when this reboot happens.
The --dhcp-script capability of dnsmasq seems like it's going in that direction, but I think it's not going to work. First, the script gets an "old" request for every lease when it starts, which isn't really what I want. Second, reading the man pages it appears to me that if my clients reboot but they come up with the same mac and hostname that they had before, the script won't be run at all. Am I reading this correctly? If so does anyone have any thoughts about how I could get where I need to go?
