Thank you. I added the following lines to dhcpd.conf:
set dhcpd-host-name = lcase(host-name);
set client_id = lcase(option host-name);
When I look at the /var/db/dhcpd.leases file, leases in
the zone with the problem still have mixed case names but I
think I found the real problem.
Several months ago, we had the WiFi-XXX default domain
names in about 4 different subnet declarations. That caused bind
to creat $origin headers in the osu.zone and those headers followed
the case of the names in the updates. If I can figure out how to
safely re-make those headers, that will most likely fix the
problem.
