dhcpd.conf : dynamic ddns-domainname option

[Clément Jeanne]

Thanks, 
I did not suspect the existence of dhcp-eval(5) because none of the man in my distro where pointing at it.
I read it, but didn't get what I need.

Here is what I want to do :

I get the fqdn from option 81 like machineA.subdomain4.domain6 

I want to extract subdomain4.domain6 to put it in ddns-domainname (ddns-domainname=suffix (???))
and by the way machineA in ddns-hostname

I guess that the first "." is the key to achieve that but there is no function to do the job

May be there is an easiest way to proceed

Any ideas? 

Regards

"pick-first-value" is documented in the dhcp-eval(5) man page. "pick" is an
alias for "pick-first-value" (although I don't think that is documented anywhere).

"match" is documented in the dhcpd.conf(5) man page. There are examples in the
CLIENT CLASSING or SUBCLASSES sections.

I don't know if these will actually help you solve your problem, but hopefully so!
