Generating Host Names for DDNS Updates using ClientID

Our IPv4 and IPv6 clients do not send a host name with their DHCP requests. Is there a way to configure the DHCP server to generate a host name based on ClientID instead of IP address? 

 

For example when my DHCP server receives a DHCP REQUEST from an IPv4 DHCP client with IP address 192.168.151.194  and no host name, the DHCP server generates the name dhcp-192-168-151-194. Along with this DHCP receives ClientID such as "\000Galaxy-A10".

 

This Galaxy-A10 is our unique identifier for clients, which we want our DHCP server to look up instead of IP address before generating a hostname. And hopefully assign A records with below format:

 

Galaxy-A10         A       192.168.151.194
