It doesn't matter what hostname the client sends. Yes, my wording was way too short. It uses the static hostname to enter the IP generated for the MAC address along with the hostname into the DNS part (in dnsmasq, which is used in Fedora KVM/libwirt) that is used to retrieve the hostname. But Thomas uses a static host table, so the DNS delivered hostname is independent from any MAC address and any transient or static hostname of the client. > I suppose that the DHCP server might keep track of hostnames and for MAC addresses that don't have fixed IP addresses it might use the client's hostname to keep leasing out the same IP address, if possible. But the same can be done with MAC address entirely, instead of hostnames, too. At least dnsmasq does not, but relies on the MAC address alone.
