use-host-decl-names on;
host <hostname> {
fixed-address <hostname>.<domain-name> ;
}
I use "use-host-decl..." (man dhcpd.conf) for nodes with fixed static
addresses. The address is resolved by a DNS server. It worked with
Caldera installation i.e. the FQDN was configured when I chose the DHCP
option for the network params. No experience with Windows DHCP
clients.
