Hello,

First of all, thank you very much vor this great tool. I've been using kea-dhcp 
for some time now and it is a huge improvement - in terms of interoperability 
and interfaces - compared to isc-dhcpd. Unfortunately, there is one thing with 
DDNS and DHCP I can not figure out how to configure properly. Domain-joined 
Windows clients add the domainname to their hostname portion by default. Linux 
clients never do that. In my opinion there is no solution yet if you have 
Windows and Linux clients within one DHCP zone.
Example: Windows-Client "A" in domain "COMPANY.INT" sends hostname 
A.COMPANY.INT to my DHCP server. KEA-DHCP expects that this is just the 
hostname and appends the ddns-qualifying-suffix to the domain name as well. 
After that, DDNS updates the host to A.COMPANY.INT.COMPANY.INT.
I cannot provide an empty ddns-qualifying-suffix as Linux Clients also use the 
same DHCP server.


  1.  Is there any way to replace string by regex like 
hostname-char-replacement for single characters. Instead of replacing single 
characters I'd like to replace entire strings, e.g. 
ddns-replace-part-of-hostname: " 'COMPANY.INT' , '' "
  2.  Have I missed something out? Does 1.8 or 1.9 already cover my usecase?

Regarding this issue there is also an ticket open
https://gitlab.isc.org/isc-projects/kea/-/issues/1529

My config:
        "ddns-generated-prefix": "host",
        "ddns-override-client-update": true,
        "ddns-override-no-update": false,
        "ddns-qualifying-suffix": "company.int.",
        "ddns-replace-client-name": "when-not-present",
        "ddns-send-updates": true,
        "ddns-update-on-renew": true,
        "dhcp-ddns": {
            "enable-updates": true,
            "max-queue-size": 1024,
            "ncr-format": "JSON",
            "ncr-protocol": "UDP",
            "sender-ip": "127.0.0.1",
            "sender-port": 0,
            "server-ip": "127.0.0.1",
            "server-port": 53001
        },
        "hostname-char-replacement": "",
        "hostname-char-set": "",

Thank you very much!
Best regards
Sebastian Schoepke
