Allow static leases by hostname like in the old ISC dhcpd
name: Allow reservations by hostname
about: Allow creating reservations by hostname like in the old ISC dhcp server
Describe the solution you'd like
In the old ISC dhcpd one could add entries like:
host myhost {
hardware ethernet 08:00:aa:bb:cc:dd;
fixed-address myhost;
}
Kea allows this:
"reservations": [
{
"hw-address": "08:00:aa:bb:cc:dd",
"ip-address": "192.0.2.10"
}
]
Would it be possible to implement this feature in Kea so to have something like:
"reservations": [
{
"hw-address": "08:00:aa:bb:cc:dd",
"hostname-address": "myhost"
}
]
?
Describe alternatives you've considered
I am aware of the possibility of using ddns and RFC2136 to supply data to a domain name server.
