[Feature request] Description fields for DHCP reservations

[tigattack]

Some devices (most often IoT devices) provide an empty hostname or some form of random/unique device ID during the DHCP handshake.

For example, my NVIDIA Shield TV provides an empty string and my Marantz amplifier provides a null-separated form of its MAC address.

This can make such devices pretty difficult to identify without additional documentation/IPAM.

It would be really useful to have a description field which is configurable for each reservation and is displayed as a column (optionally, perhaps?) in the leases list for each scope.

you should be able to just modify the hostname to whatever you want it it should stick

TIL it sticks, that's good to know, cheers. I still think this would be a nice addition but the priority, at least to me, is far lower now I know that.

I'd like to add +1 to this as well. I'm wanting to separate DHCP from my router (OPNSense), however, I very much use the description to identify things or to leave a note about how to connect. IE: "Squeezebox Server - Port 9000, or "Living Room Roku - Wifi connection"

I've been trying to look at the code, but I'm not the best programmer. I realize this might not be high on the priority list but I'd appreciate it being added. :-)
