need help with dynamic DNS updates

[David W. Hankins]

if the client does not send a hostname, you will need to supply one.

'man dhcpd.conf' says:

       The DHCP server determines the client’s hostname by first looking for a
       ddns‐hostname  configuration  option,  and using that if it is present.
       If no such option is present, the server looks for a valid hostname  in
       the  FQDN option sent by the client.  If one is found, it is used; oth‐
       erwise, if the client sent a host‐name option, that  is  used.   Other‐
       wise,  if  there  is a host declaration that applies to the client, the
       name from that declaration will be used.  If none of these applies, the
       server will not have a hostname for the client, and will not be able to
       do a DNS update.
