DHCP v4.2.5 - How to manage hostname ?

Bonjour everyone,

I work for a company that supplies services around connected devices.
I build a new infrastructure for our customers  in which there is a DHCP server (v4.2.5 provides by Centos 7.1).
I need these devices register dynamically with a hostname in our DNS.

The constraint is that many devices send no information concerning their hostname (in fact, they have not this information).
What I whished was to use « host-identifier » option (which is the MSISDN, that is the phone number of the device) and use it as a parameter to build a hostname.
I groped a little bit at random and I thought of finding a solution with the conditional instructions but it dosn't work either.

This in one configuration file (/etc/dhcp/subnets/customer001.conf :

----- BEGIN -----
shared-network customer001 {
        if exists dhcp-client-identifier {
                option dhcp-client-identifier = option dhcp-client-identifier;
        }

        if exists host-name {
                option host-name = option host-name;
        }
        else if exists dhcp-client-identifier {
                option host-name = option dhcp-client-identifier;
        }

        zone device.m2m. {
                primary 10.0.0.211;
                secondary 10.0.0.212, 10.0.0.216;
                key DDNS_UPDATE;
        }

        zone 10.in-addr.arpa. {
                primary 10.0.0.211;
                secondary 10.0.0.212, 10.0.0.216;
                key DDNS_UPDATE;
        }

        deny unknown-clients ;
        ddns-rev-domainname "in-addr.arpa.";
        ddns-updates on;
        ddns-update-style interim;
        ignore client-updates;
        infinite-is-reserved on;
        do-forward-updates on;
        option domain-name-servers 10.0.0.211, 10.0.0.212;
        update-static-leases on;
        use-host-decl-names on;
        ddns-domainname "device.m2m.";
        default-lease-time 604800;
        max-lease-time 604800;

        subnet 10.1.0.0 netmask 255.255.0.0 {
                range 10.1.0.2 10.1.255.250;
                option routers 10.1.255.252;
                option subnet-mask 255.255.0.0;
                option broadcast-address 10.1.255.255;
        }

        subnet 10.129.0.0 netmask 255.255.0.0 {
                range 10.129.0.2 10.129.255.250;
                option routers 10.129.255.252;
                option subnet-mask 255.255.0.0;
                option broadcast-address 10.129.255.255;
        }
}

host 00033611987141 {
        if exists host-name {
                option host-name = option host-name;
        }
        else if exists dhcp-client-identifier {
                option host-name = option dhcp-client-identifier;
        }

        fixed-address 10.1.0.3;
        option dhcp-client-identifier "\00033123456789";
}

host 00033625232212 {
        if exists host-name {
                option host-name = option host-name;
        }
        else if exists dhcp-client-identifier {
                option host-name = option dhcp-client-identifier;
        }

        fixed-address 10.1.0.4;
        option dhcp-client-identifier "\000330987654321";
}
----- END -----

Some help will be appreciate :)
