[7.090] network accounting don´t resolve hostnames from own dhcp

Now Network Reporting works fine with local IPs,
but IPs from Astaro-DHCP are not resolved.

  • I don't believe the Astaro DHCP server registers hostnames of clients in any DNS server, including internal ones.  Microsoft's DNS Server in Windows Server 2000 and up does, if you're using Microsoft's DHCP server... and, of course, there are open-source solutions that will do likewise.

  • Astaros DHCP dont register DHCP-Client-Names in any DNS. (that not the point)

    For reporting/accounting issues , would be better to keep track of lease -> hostname (maybe only for 24h/TODAY).

    Resolving hostnames including DHCP would help for daily generated reports, or looking in PF Livelog eg.
