I currently have mysql, but if postgres is required for this, I would
switch backends
if necessary, since I am currently planning to redeploy the services in the
network.
I will read the docs again and see what I can find.

This does makes sense. I was not sure what exactly is entered in the column
for a given
host reservation. I assumed it was just a class name defined globally or
under the
subnet. For the other fields  (next_server, hostname, or boot_file_name), I
would
expect to simply enter the option data expected (ipv4 address or ascii
string).

Thanks!
