What does update-conflict-detection true; do

Hi

I didn't find an official description for it. Only:

If update-conflict-detection is true, the dhcp-server updates the dns-server with the A, PTR and TXT record.
If update-conflict-detection is false, the dhcp-server updates the dns-server with only the A and PTR record.

Is that all?
It sounds more like ignoring DHCID or not overwriting entries w/o DHCID.

That's all but if you disable it, it means that basically any host can
overwrite any record and multiple hosts with the same name will
continuously take turn to update the same record.

With "update-conflict-detection" on, the first host get to update the
zone and after that any other hosts with the same name are rejected as
long as the lease of the first one is valid.

man dhcpd.conf

          The update-conflict-detection statement

            update-conflict-detection flag;

            If the update-conflict-detection parameter is true, the server
will perform standard DHCID multiple-client, one-name conflict
detection.  If the parameter has been set false, the server
will skip this check and instead simply tear down any previous
bindings to install the new binding without question.  The
default is true.

So false means ignore the DHCID record.

if update-conflict-detection is set to off it ignores all existing records and replaces it with his record!
