Im think you are wrong (Not 100% shure), yes the DHCP assign the ip but is
the windows machine (Client) thats sets its name on the DNS (At least on a
Active Directory domain)

So when that fails you put ipconfig /registerdns (Windows Machine).

anyway check   man dhclient.conf the part of examples is maybe what you are
looking for. (send host-name "andare.fugue.com";)
