Please consider the following:

1. Merge the active and static lease tables into one table. You could display the leases the do not have a static entry at the top.  
2). Add an option to allow us to edit a static lease (e.g. hostname) without having to delete and re-add it.  
3). Add an option to allow us to set the default DNS TTL for a lease (or match it to the lease duration)  
4). Add an option to allow us to specify the default NTP server for DHCP leases.

Thank you.

> Currently to change a static reservation you have to delete the entry, then after the page reloads and the data has disappeared, re-add it. This usually means copying the MAC address into the clipboard, then re-typing the IP/hostname with the require changes. It'd be great if there was an Edit button or something, even if it just did the same as the Delete button but pre-populated the row of input boxes with the old values for tweaking/adding again.

> The DHCP Settings page of the web GUI provides the ability to input the 'Router (gateway) IP address' to be used in a dhcp-option=3 (or dhcp-option=option:router) entry that will pass the address of the internet gateway router to dhcp clients. [image] It would be useful to have a similar mechanism to allow the administrator to provide the 'NTP Server IP address' to be used in a dhcp-option=42 (or dhcp-option=option:ntp-server) entry that would pass along the address(es) of preferred NTP server…

Please split the remaining two feature requests into single requests - this will make it easier to track implementation of feature requests.
