[Kea-users] if hostname is not fqdn then... ?

[Darren Ankney]

Hi,

I am not sure I understand what you are asking.  However, a couple of points:

1. 2.7.x is a development version and not intended for production use,
so if you are using it in production, you should move to 3.0.2 as soon
as you can.

2. DDNS / FQDN generation and replacement are described here:
https://kea.readthedocs.io/en/stable/arm/dhcp4-srv.html#ddns-for-dhcpv4

Thank you,
Darren Ankney
