>From the looks of what was being asked there (build a client name in a
specific way), it seems that this is probably achievable with the ddns
tuning hook: https://kea.readthedocs.io/en/stable/arm/hooks.html#libdhcp-ddns-tuning-so-ddns-tuning
or perhaps even with the normal ddns configuration parameters:
https://kea.readthedocs.io/en/stable/arm/dhcp4-srv.html#ddns-for-dhcpv4

The kea-users mailing list isn't the right place to ask for a feature,
however.  The right place for feature requests is here:
https://gitlab.isc.org/isc-projects/kea/-/issues

Thank you,
Darren Ankney
