Thank you for this work.
Do you plan a release of lwat or how does your improvements go into the
test dvd .... image?

Yes I think so the complete configuration of tjener, ldap .... and all
static, ltspserver, ... hosts. So the school admin must only add his MAC
addresses with lwat.
So the most configurations are equal. So it is easy to understand
problems in other configurations. That is a feature of debian edu to
work out of the box. Sometimes it looks like a bug but use other IPs or
DNS domains may be more imported than individual host names.
May be the printer will be get better names. :-)

I think you are right.

I have seen the same problem after I switched from bind to powerdns.
May be a problem of powerdns? I has not debug it and I do not understand
what "host" try to find after he has find the host.
