DHCP leases and ARP table with static DNS names column?

I have added a handful of static DNS name/ip entries into the static DNS table. I've also set those handful of ips as static DHCP leases by source MAC.

Is there a way for me to see the static DHCP lease and corresponding static DNS name within the DHCP leases table? Is it possible to see the corresponding static DNS name within the ARP table also?

I understand that the DNS name and DHCP lease may have nothing to do with each other however it is easier for me to know which device is which without looking at the ip in the DHCP lease table and the static DNS table.

Thanks

You wrote it yourself:

I think it's just too specific case for this feature to be implemented.

What is the usual way in which to see connected clients' static dns names and ip adresses together? Is there any way other than comparing the ip them across tables?

Can't really say, that's not something I normally need. Not that it would be bad idea, but usually I don't have static DNS records set.

I'm almost sure that it would be possible to write a script to read DHCP leases or ARP table, find DNS records for items and show you the list. It sounds almost easy (= there's not much to do), but I'm not a scripting guy.
