use-host-decl-names AND get-lease-hostnames

[Glenn Satchell]

You could try putting get-lease-hostnames inside the pool perhaps? Do
you have proper reverse lookup DNS zones? for example, does
'nslookup 100.18.8.10.in-addr.arpa' return the expected hostname?

You may need to put the use-host-decl-names inside a group with all
the host statements, to remove any potential conflict, eg:

group {
	use-host-decl-names on;
	
	host foo {
	  hwaddress ethernet <foomac>;
	  fixed-address foo.my-domain.net;
	}
	host ... {
	}
}
