What is a DHCID record?
DHCID records, specified in RFC 4701, are used to associate a DNS domain name with the DHCP client that owns it. They help prevent conflicts when multiple DHCP clients attempt to register the same hostname, ensuring that only the legitimate client can update or modify the corresponding DNS records.How to add a DHCID record?
