Please be aware that only the dhcp-client-identifier option and the hard-
ware address can be used to match a host declaration. For example, it is
not possible to match a host declaration to a host-name option. This is
because the host-name option cannot be guaranteed to be unique for any
given client, whereas both the hardware address and dhcp-client-identifier
option are at least theoretically guaranteed to be unique to a given
client.
I suppose if I had a working DDNS update setup 'send host-name' would be useful.
But what I do is have them send a dhcp-client-identifier to look up the fixed
ip in dhcpd.conf. I can also have the dual-boot Windows and OS X machines send
the identifier. I also like it if they get the same IP for wired and wireless
connections if they both happen to come up. Makes switching from one to the
other easier.
