No, I guess that's enough. If it was some homebrewn router, I would have had a 2nd thought, but if this is as windows server, we'll have to be compatible, I guess...

Pushed, thanks for the patch!

We have a server separate from the gateway that contains both a DNS and a DHCP server. It's a VMhost but I cannot access it and I do not know the specifics of the operating system on the host. It is maintained by an IT firm. We know that it is a windows server but don't know the version, we do think its a 2012 or more recent.
I could ask them, if this isn't enough information. If it isn't, could you give me the exact specs that you need? So I only have to contact them once (they charge for everything...).

Ok, thanks for the update. So which DHCP/DNS server combination are you using?

I looked into following RFCs: 1553 and 2131.
It's not stated when a host name option may be given.
It's just mentioned as a possible option.

So how did I test this issue?
When my implementation boots it does the needed DHCP communication to get an IP address etc and it gives it's host name.
If I ping MYHOSTNAME, I get feedback.

Then I unplug the Ethernet connector and plug it back in again.
When plugged in, netif_set_link_up is called which calls dhcp_network_changed which calls dhcp_reboot. The reboot request message does not contain the host name.

If I then ping MYHOSTNAME again it does not get resolved. If I look at the DNS traffic with Wireshark, I get a no such name.

When adding the patch this does work.

That patch is pretty straightforward, of course. But since this is implementing a standard could you please either cite where this is required or tell us a test setup of how it did not work and your patch makes it work?

I don't know if the original submitter of the hostname integration has forgotten this or left it out on purpose.

When the network is changed, dhcp is rebooted.
It will send a dhcp request again to verify it's lease.

DHCP requests are send out in selecting state, rebinding, renewing
and rebooting. But in the rebooting state the hostname option is
not included. This means that after reboot, the hostname will be
unknown to the DNS.
Sending a ping to a host name is then not possible.

I made a patch for it (see attached file).
