dhcp host name setting needed

Thank you for a good router. It works OK in my environment, and performs the main functionality well, but the firmware lacks host name setting for DHCP leases and local DNS server. This feature is very useful and needed, for one often have to access multiple hosts and devices that he have in his network and urged to remember their IP addresses or use mDNS or Zeroconf which are not supported by many, ex., devices or operating systems, or have to run a dedicated server computer, that is not always an appropriate solution.
Could you, please, implement this. This functionality is already implemented in many popular router open source and propriatery firmwares, such as openwrt, dd-wrt, enthusiasts etc., and depends on well developed and supported software components, such as dnsmasq, busybox udhcpd or similar, and should not use many hardware resources, such as CPU, RAM and disk space. Also the UI changes in web interface should be minimal, and are already partly implemented, such as the domain name setting.
All this implemented could make the router and network that it should serve much smarter from the box.
Also it seems that IP binding in current firmare is somewhat a duplication or misplacement and perhaps should be merged with DHCP settings. Or moved closer to DHCP menu
