mac ddns for wake on lan

[Stulic,Damjan]

You can do something like this:
 pool {

   ...
  
   set MAC = pick ( binary-to-ascii (16, 8, "", substring(hardware, 1,
6) , "undefined" );
   ddns-hostname = MAC;
 }



If you decide to keep original hostname, you can log the mac and use
some kind of swatch/syslog-ng process to trigger different events
(updates to dns). Like (in pool declaration):
   on commit {
     log(error, concat ("mac ",NAM);
   }



Instead, I suggest that you look into OMAPI and use it to communicate to
server directly and get mac address that way!

Subject: mac ddns for wake on lan

I want to be able to use Wake On Lan without having to remember mac
addresses. 
So I was thinking I could add mac to the ddns update that dhcpd does.
maybe add 
a TXT record each time, and then the WOL program can get the mac from a
dns query.

How doable is this?  Looking at my dhcpd.conf I have no idea where to
start.
