Reserving a hostname - - Reserving a hostname is currently not supported. It is possible - to specify that information in the configuration file, but that data - is not used by the server engine yet. + When the reservation for the client includes the hostname + , the server will assign this hostname to the client and send + it back in the Client FQDN or Hostname option, depending on which of them + the client has sent to the server. The reserved hostname always takes + precedence over the hostname supplied by the client or the autogenerated + (from the IPv4 address) hostname. If the reservation for the hostname is + specified the server ignores the qualifying-suffix + parameter and treats the value specified in the reservation as a fully + qualified name. + + + Future Kea versions may provide additional configuration + parameters to specify whether the reserved hostname is a fully qualified + name or the suffix should be appended. + +
