OK, I mostly have figured this out at this point.  I am able to
dynamically allocate addresses from a pool and associate a name
with that address that makes sense from the point of view of DNS.

However ... the client seems to accept this name only if it does
not already have a hostname assigned.  That is, if the hostname is "".
How do I configure dhcp to *force* the client to accept the name
dhcp has cooked up and override the name that is already in place
on the client machine?

This behavior is noted both when I allocate a dynamic address/name
with dhcp OR if I use dhcp to hand out static IP/name combinations
(based on the requesting machine's MAC address).

Help much appreciated...
