DHCP updates with bind 9.1.0.rc1 and dhcp 3.0b2pl11

[Bob Vance]

If you post this on the DHCP list

    http://www.isc.org/services/public/lists/dhcp-lists.html

I'll bet that you'll get a definitive answer.

What does the lease entry look like in /var/state/dhcp/dhcpd.leases
vis-a-vis "client-hostname" ?
Did you try modifying the entry manually, adding appropriate

  set ddns-rev-name = " ... ";
  set ddns-fwd-name = " ... ";
  client-hostname " ... ";

   (I don't know what will happen on lease expiry,
    though, in this case.
   )

Did you try a conditional statement in /etc/dhcpd.conf ?

Oops.  I can't find the dhcpd.conditionals man page !!

Here is my question:

I have a printerserver that does not send a hostname.
Now I want to use dhcp with the printserver and give it
a 'static' hostname and a dynamic IP address.
For some reason I cannot give my printserver a hostname.
I tried several options in dhcp.conf, maby I missed something...

How do I setup that in my dhcp.conf?

DHCP updates to bind work great!
My Windowz workstations are updates
and can be resolved using dig.
