Dynamic Hostname Assignment

[Mike Maltese]

The dhcp package hasen't changed for a while so I'll assume you're running
the latest.  The only other thing I can think of is adding "request
host-name;" to dhclient.conf, although IIRC, that's one of the values
requested by default.  You may want to check out the documentation at
http://www.isc.org/products/DHCP/.
