Name resolving of local clients in AP mode

Hi,

I've got an AC87U in Wireless Router Mode, and an AC68U in AccessPoint mode.
Both running Merlin's 378.52_2
AC68U is connected through WAN port on AC87U LAN port (DHCP, static lease).

At this moment the Wireless Log of the 68U (AP mode) is not showing the name of the connected clients.
It does show IPadress, MAC, etc.

I was wondering if it's possible to resolve the name, belonging to the IPadress.
Name of the client IS shown on the AC87U's Wireless Log.

Not without some major changes. The leases are allocated by the router, so the AP has no way of accessing that lease list. It would require doing a name lookup on every client entry, which could introduce other issues due to delays.
