Hello,
I am trying to configure freebsd machines on a subnet to use dhcp. I
would like dhcpd on a server to perform a DNS resolution on a hostname
and return a corresponding IP/hostname pair to the client. If I put
the following into /etc/dhcpd.conf:
group {
use-host-decl-names true;
get-lease-hostnames true;
host willie {
hardware ethernet 00:00:92:90:29:57;
fixed-address willie.math.uic.edu;
}
}
then the hostname=willie and it's IP number is returned to the host
with the ethernet number 00:00:92:90:29:57. How would I do the same
for a range of addresses? I am trying to avoid specifying these
"host" declaration for every client. This would allow me to keep DNS
info and dhcp-assigned IP/hostnames the same. I tried this:
group {
use-host-decl-names true;
get-lease-hostnames true;
subnet 131.193.180.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 {
range 131.193.180.100 131.193.180.104;
range 131.193.180.107 131.193.180.250;
max-lease-time 2592000;
option subnet-mask 255.255.255.0;
option broadcast-address 131.193.180.255;
option routers 131.193.180.1;
}
}
...and dhcpd returns an empty hostname to the client. What am I missing?
Thanks!
Vladimir
