Hi there,<br>
<br>
I've got a strange behaviour after upgrading my Debian server from
squeeze (dhcpd v4.1.1 / bind v9.7.3) to wheezy (dhcpd v4.2.2 / bind
v9.8.4).<br>
<br>
Until many years I'm used to configure theses services for small
networks and I'm using host declarations with a fixed-address (fqdn,
not IP) like this :<br>
<br>
host pascaglia {<br>
hardware ethernet 11:22:33:44:55:66;<br>
fixed-address pascaglia.mydomain.local;<br>
}<br>
<br>
When any host declared like this is asking for a lease, i got from
syslog :<br>
dhcpd: pascaglia.mydomain.local: host unknown.<br>
<br>
Instead of providing the correct IP/lease, the client gets a
"generic IP" from the pool, not the fixed one.<br>
<br>
NB : The local bind server is OK and when asked (dig, nslookup),
give the correct IP for pascaglia.mydomain.local or pascaglia
(thanks to the search/domain directives of resolv.conf). The reverse
is OK too.<br>
<br>
The dhcpd.conf(5) manual clearly indicates that using dns is
possible :<br>
"Each address in the fixed-address declaration should be either an
IP address or a domain name that resolves to one or more IP
addresses."<br>
<br>
But the resolution is not done anymore !<br>
<br>
Many hours searching the net and list archives about this, but not
found any clue about it... so I'm asking you... what am i missing ?<br>
