[Dnsmasq-discuss] bad DHCP host name

[Yves Dorfsman]

I recently upgraded to Fedora 19, which includes "Dnsmasq version 2.66".
Dnsmasq now choques on a hostname:


dnsmasq: bad DHCP host name at line 165 of /etc/dnsmasq.conf

Line 165 is:
dhcp-host=00:80:de:ad:be:ef,4040CDN,192.168.0.3

Sure enough, if I add a letter in front of the hostname, it dnsmasq starts 
happily.

Is the issue that my hostname starts with a number? I thought RFC 1123 allowed 
that(never been a problem with the previous versions of dnsmasq)?
