[Bug 1088682] Re: dhclient does not register hostname to dynamic DNS (AD)

[Stéphane Graber]

One way to make it work would be to have separate dhclient.conf and
dhclient6.conf config files, but that'd need quite a lot of tools and
scripts be updated to pick the right one, not to mention increasing our
existing dhclient.conf delta with Debian which I've been trying to
minimize so far...

Title:
  dhclient does not register hostname to dynamic DNS (AD)

Bug description:
  This is not working in quantal (4.2.4-1ubuntu10) and raring
  (4.2.4-3ubuntu1), but is working in precise (4.1.ESV-R4-0ubuntu5).

  A patch fixed an issue for bug 991360 where dhclient.conf was amended to include:
  send fqdn.fqdn = gethostname();

  This causes failures when the client tries to register was some DHCP servers (for example Windows AD DDNS servers).
  By commenting out this line and restarting the client, the client can then register with this type of DHCP server.

  However, this is needed to ensure dhcpv6 works.
