assigning groups to classes

[Sten Carlsen]

I would be thinking if the management system could be changed since it
does not do what is needed?

OTOH a small AWK script or something like that might be able to rewrite
the output from the management system into classes rather than groups?

This should not be such a big task.

However this never seems to work, perhaps I'm simply misunderstanding how classes and/or the config-option work?  Example dhcpd.conf below showing attempted group assignment to a class based on the domain-name option.
