Hi all,

I've just been setting up a diskless machine to boot using DHCP with a
fixed IP address.  Curiously I found that dhcpd didn't find an address
to hand out when I used a hostname on the fixed-address line, but was
OK if I used an IP address.

This works:

host topaz.nemeton.com.au {
  hardware ethernet 00:d0:b7:e5:6b:67;
  fixed-address 203.8.3.34;
  option root-path "/usr/local/topaz";
}

This doesn't:

host topaz.nemeton.com.au {
  hardware ethernet 00:d0:b7:e5:6b:67;
  fixed-address topaz.nemeton.com.au;
  option root-path "/usr/local/topaz";
}

DNS is fine as far as I know:

$ host topaz.nemeton.com.au
topaz.nemeton.com.au has address 203.8.3.34
$ host 203.8.3.34
34.3.8.203.IN-ADDR.ARPA domain name pointer topaz.nemeton.com.au

NFS and DHCP server: NetBSD-1.5_BETA/i386
Diskless client:     NetBSD-1.5_BETA2/i386

Have I missed something?  Known issue?  New bug?

Regards,

Giles
