Understood. However, if no input is provided, the DHCP client sends no hostname. In that respect, it is not a default, but a sample value. Contrast this with "DNS server port" = "53", which means that if no input is given, the DNS port is 53.
I surveyed the <gray> values in my Luci interface, and most of them use <gray> to display the default value of a parameter (ala DNS port). The DHCP & DNS parameter DNS forwardings is a fake default (not really the default value), as well as Interface / DHCP hostname (again not really the default value). While it is clear that "/example.org/10.1.2.3" is a sample value, it is not clear that the default DHCP hostname is unused. I would suggest that these fields be reexamined, because they are inconsistent with the behavior of all the other fields: 1) DHCP hostname should be empty, no "gray" value. 2) DNS forwardings should be empty. Help could indicate: "Format is /domain/server, or server for fallback" I thought the following were bogus, but they appear to be meaningful, from a quick check: 1) Domain whitelist = "ihost.netflix.com", which resolves to 127.0.0.1, so that default appears meaningful 2) Bogus NX Domain Override = "67.215.65.132", which reverse resolves to hit-nxdomain.opendns.com, so that default appears to be meaningful as well. -- -Justin justinval...@gmail.com
