dhcpd doesn't send client-hostname to peer, breaking DHCP lease registrations w/HA

Description

In a HA setup with DHCP server enabled, both peers will assign IPs. The leases that sync to peers don't include client-hostname. Where DHCP registration to DNS is enabled, each system in a pair only knows the hostnames for leases it issued, leaving name resolution of DHCP hostnames about 50% broken (half will work on the primary only, other half work on the secondary only).

dhcpd likely needs fixed.

This is something that will almost certainly be post-2.2, but putting to 2.2 for the moment in case we can find a quick fix.

On researching this and discussing it with other DEV team members, the issue arises from the current expected behavior of ISC-dhcpd. Not fixable in pfSense.

  • Target version deleted (2.3)

it'd either require changes in dhcpd or redoing how we register DHCP leases in DNS. Either way is non-trivial.

It looks like this may have been fixed upstream in version 4.3.5, is this something that could be easily tested? Happy to help if so.

4.3.5 is in pfSense 2.3.3 and 2.4. Just update and try it.

Ah bummer, I did my testing on 2.3.3 so if it is in there it didn't fix it.
