> Short answer: no.On a related question, is it possible to get the hostname of a computer that has a DHCP lease from outside the firewall?
I know the information is stored in dhcpd.leases, but I don't have a way to send that file to another computer for processing. Being a firewall, I don't really want a way to do that, either. But what would be great would be some sort of tool that could communicate with the DHCP server and retrieve that information: kind of like a DNS lookup, but against the DHCP server.
Is there such a tool?
Thank you!
