Thank you for the explanation and forgive my slowness in understanding...
So then, the "nas001" part of the statement can be pretty much whatever
I want to call it? ...and the MAC is the part that does the actual
identifying in the example below?
Thanks,
Eric

> We are not using the option host-name in the declaration as a
selector. It is there to be sent back to the client in the outbound
response. As we are a university, you might be surprised at what some
students/staff have set as their 'host-name' to (or maybe you wouldn't
:-)), anyway, this was my attempt to override the name so that machines
got joined to the domain with appropriate names etc.
