Hello Richard:


If I understand correctly, you're thinking that kea-dhcp4 will use the
"domain-name" option to qualify the hostname sent by your clients as the
FQDN for the DNS entries.  While this is a very useful feature, Kea does
not yet support it.  Currently, the dhcp server can only be configured
with a single, global qualifying-suffix.  It should be possible to
override this behavior by writing a custom hook for the lease4_select
hook point.  This hook point is called after the subnet has been
selected and a lease has been determined but before the DDNS request(s)
are created. The hook would need to create an FQDN option using the
domain-name value from the selected subnet and add the option to the
inbound packet, the "query" argument in the lease4_select.  The server
will see this FQDN option and use it when forming the DDNS requests sent
to kea-dhcp-ddns (aka D2).

Writing hooks is discussed in detail with examples in our developer's guide:

https://jenkins.isc.org/job/Fedora20_32_doxygen_doc/doxygen/de/df3/dhcpv4Hooks.html

In the meantime, I have opened a ticket in our Trac, to request the
behavior:
