Hey Simon,

Thanks for your explanation. Before writing to the mailing list, I made
sure to check the man page for --dhcp-host. Now that you repeated the
reasoning for me, I vaguely remember having read this some longer time
ago here. Copy-pasting your explanation to the man page seems helpful
for future readers.
