I am trying to understand what data is actually stored on a DHCP server. I understand the process of how a client gets a lease for an IP address from a server, but is it possible to poll a server for the hostname of the client that has a given IP leased?
For example: I can ask the DHCP server "What is the hostname of 192.168.1.107?" and it will return "Jim's Lenovo".
From my understanding when a client attempts to ask for a lease, the DCHP Request packet can contain the hostname depending on the option set. However, does the server hold this hostname?
