DHCP keeping host names unique



Because of Exchange and it's WINS dependancy is it possible of setting
the DHCP server to only provide addresses to hosts with unique netbios
names. WINS is a flat file system that does not understand subdomains.
So the objective is to ensure that the host names are unique. However
there are multiple domains. Is there a setting to test the uniqueness
of the host name?

Thanks

Mike
