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
PING 192.168.0.117 (192.168.0.117) 56(84) bytes of data.
64 bytes from 192.168.0.117: icmp_seq=0 ttl=128 time=7.28 ms
64 bytes from 192.168.0.117: icmp_seq=1 ttl=128 time=1.25 ms

--- 192.168.0.117 ping statistics ---
2 packets transmitted, 2 received, 0% packet loss, time 1007ms
rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 1.254/4.268/7.283/3.015 ms, pipe 2
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
Mauro

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.
