Hi,

I have a /24 split at two sites with reverse DNS appropriate partitioned
so that half (e.g. 192.168.7.0/25 and 192.168.7.128/25 -- used for
illustration btw not the actual IP addresses) is in zone:

	0-25.7.168.192.in-addr.arpa.

and the other is in:

	128-25.7.168.192.in-addr.arpa.

There appear no way to have the DHCP daemon update the correct reverse
zone. It will always try to update 7.168.192.in-addr.arpa.

Unfortunately setting ddns-rev-domainname does not help as that only put
a suffix on the reversed IP address. Nor does attempting to turn the
option into an evaluation expression like:

ddns-rev-domainname concat(binary-to-ascii(10, 8, ".", suffix(leased-address, 1)), "0-25.7.168.192.in-addr.arpa.");

Since DHCP expects either a parameter or declaration.

Thanks,
Anand
