Print Page - Dnsmasq not serving out lease names.

Hi All,
I just installed the latest (2.3rc1) efw and I do not see the hostnames (correctly held in /var/lib/dhcpd.leases) in the DNS.
efw is the only DNS server and the only DHCP server in my home LAN.

Code:

...
lease 192.168.0.117 {
  starts 1 2009/10/26 06:22:12;
  ends 1 2009/10/26 07:22:12;
  binding state active;
  next binding state free;
  hardware ethernet 00:a0:d1:a9:6c:eb;
  uid "\001\000\240\321\251l\353";
  client-hostname "wiki3_1";
}
...

root@efw:~ # ping wiki3_1
ping: unknown host wiki3_1
root@efw:~ # ping 192.168.0.117

root@efw:~ #

Any idea?
I can obviously generate fixed leases for my handful of computers and add them manually to the hosts file, but I felt I should report this.

Thanks in advance

Same issue here. DHCP is being served by dhcpd, DNS by dnsmasq, with no intermediary host file for dnsmasq to pick up the DHCP client host list. Unless I'm missing some option, DHCP client's can't have their names directly serviced via DNS - static entries are needed.
