You will want to create a host entry and set the macaddress. It is then
a "known" object.

The example below will create a host entry using omshell.
usage: createhost.pl hostname macaddress [ipaddress]

------------------------------------------------------------------------

#!/usr/bin/perl
$name = @ARGV[0];
$mac = @ARGV[1];
$ipaddress = @ARGV[2];

if($name && $mac) {
        open(OMSHELL, "|omshell") || die("Could not open omshell\n");
        print OMSHELL "connect\n";
        print OMSHELL "new host\n";
        print OMSHELL "set name = \"$name\"\n";
        print OMSHELL "set hardware-address = $mac\n";
        print OMSHELL "set hardware-type = 1\n";
        if ($ipaddress) {
                print OMSHELL "set ip-address = $ipaddress\n";
        }
        print OMSHELL "create\n";
        close(OMSHELL) || die("Could not close omshell\n");
} else {
        print "missing arguments\n";
        exit(1);
}

I'm just wondering if you create a dynamic lease entry, is it considered
a known object at that point?  I.E., the host entry in the dhcpd.conf
file.

Mike
  Clarify this point a bit.

   Does your question differ from the 'core' idea behind netreg, that is

you have a short un-routable leases pool
and will receive such as long as the MAC is not registered (i.e. there 
is a host 'jdoe' with hardware-address entry in the dhcp server)
  If it does not then Omapi does exactly the same just with avoidance of

restarting dhcp server and of course
potential side-effects like performace, reliability,network delay if 
multi-tiered app, another point of failure etc etc.
 
 
  Regards, Bekim
