Description Neil Darlow 2011-06-06 18:59:55 UTC

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux i686; rv:2.0.1) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/4.0.1

Network Manager has been recently updated to send the client hostname to the DHCP server however it is broken.

Note that the dhclient documentation example for send host-name incorrectly shows a fully-qualified domain name with host when it should just be the hostname.

i.e.:
send host-name "myhost";
NOT send host-name "myhost.mydomain.com";

I previously had dynamic DNS updates working with send host-name "myhost"; in /etc/dhclient.conf but this update has broken it now.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Use dig to query a dynamically updated DNS server with the updated Network Manager
2. Observe a NXDOMAIN error result

Actual Results:  
With send host-name "myhost.mydomain.com"; an ISC-DHCP server fails to dynamically update DNS.

Expected Results:  
With send host-name "myhost"; results in dynamic update of DNS working correctly.
