just doesn't cut atm unless this backend scripting gets worked out.
I have a ddns network, which does work but it needs to have the hostname
sent to it. Ie; dhclient -H works, but unless it is run manually the
forward and reverse mapping is not done by dhcpd.
I checked that dhclient.conf has send hostname in it, but I doubt very
much that it is being read as I have made changes there to no effect. I
believe somewhere in the scripting there is an issue- the hostname
settings getting overridden or something.
I've checked the man pages, and they say to only adjust dhclient.conf,
or add hooks. I've adjusted the hostname settings everywhere (not
simultaneously) to see if it'll work- ng.
Anyone else got ddns to work here and know what's missing? BTW I'm
testing on a wifi connection, but I doubt thats the problem.

Exhilaration is that feeling you get just after a great idea hits you,
and just before you realize what is wrong with it.
