Hi Russ Dill,
Hi busybox-list,
Hi dhcp-client-list,
sorry for this ugly english, but it's not my native language.
I'm really newbie at udhcp and DHCP in general. Up to now I've used udhcp
client as a simple bootp requester inside of a customer embedded system. But
now our cudtomer wishes to use full DHCP. Full is not correct, because at the
embedded system we put in the FQDN as network configuration (and use it). In
this case our customer is claim to embed the FQN into all DHCP request to
note the DHCP server about own FQDN. Then the DHCP Server have to update the
DNS server.
Our customer have said: It would be Windows like. I think it's not RFC
conform, isn't it? I belief only the MAC address is valid inside of DHCP
resquests.
If not so here my questions: Where could I found more informations about such
a strategy. Is it possible to make such DHCP requests with current version of
udhcp? How and where can I change the sources of udhcp to do that.
Thank you in advance
and best regards
