Public bug reported: If dhclient sent the hostname when it requested an ip address, Dnsmasq can use it to provide local dns for that name. In /etc/dhcp3/dhclient.conf this line can be added to accomplish this:
send host-name "`hostname`"; This would be very helpful. Note: the original reporter indicated the bug was in package 'dhclient'; however, that package was not published in Ubuntu. ** Affects: Ubuntu Importance: Untriaged Status: Unconfirmed -- dhclient should send hostname to Dnsmasq https://launchpad.net/bugs/51478 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
