[Dnsmasq-discuss] dhcp-name-match ?

[Simon Kelley]

Looking at the code, the only obvious explanation is if you are
over-riding the hostname in the dnsmasq configuration, ie with dhcp-host.

In that case the client-provided name is ignored, including for the
purposes of dhcp-name-match. (This may be a bug, but it is also an
explanation.)
