Hi,

So, I know "_" isn't a valid syntax in DNS, my bad.

I found a working solution. Since this was to be used in a /48, we only wanted the host-part of the prefix.

   ddns-hostname = binary-to-ascii(16, 16, "-", suffix(substring(option dhcp6.ia-na, 16, 16), 10));

To use the example above, "2001:20a0:4000:300::123" would produce "300-0-0-0-123" as the ddns-hostname.
