[Kea-users] Fwd: is there any way to force kea-dhcp4-server/kea-dhcp-ddns-server to use option 12 instead of option 81?

Hello again:

Minor correction to the expression provided previously:

      "hostname-expr" : "ifelse(option[12].exists, 
option[host-name].text, option[81].text)"

Hello:

This can be done via our premium DDNS Tuning hook library:

https://kea.readthedocs.io/en/latest/arm/hooks.html#libdhcp-ddns-tuning-so-ddns-tuning

which allows you to define hostname expression. You would do something 
similar to this:

"hostname-expr" : "ifelse(option[host-name].exists, option[host-name], 
option[81])"
