Introduction

The ddns-hostname directive below picks, in descending order of preference, one of option dhcp6.fdqn, option fqdn.hostname, option host-name, or a string made up of dyn- concatenated with the contents of dhcp6.ia-na in 16 byte chunks.

A host with a non-temporary address (IA-NA) of 2001:db8:dead:beef:1034:56ff:fe78:9abc, which fails to identify itself otherwise will be assigned a DNS name of:

    dyn-2001-0db8-dead-beef-1034-56ff-fe78-9abc.example.org

Note that leading zeros will not be collapsed.
