Description

I've activated "Register DHCP leases in DNS forwarder" option.
I case where one of my device requests an IP without giving a hostname (which does not comply with RFC 2132), the file /var/dhcpd/var/db/dhcpd.leases contains entries like client-hostname "";
In that particular case, dhcplease process that writes in /etc/hosts puts the last non empty client-hostname value. Which makes DNS resolution points to an incorrect IP address...
Observed in 2.5.1 and also in 2.6.0
