Here is a feature that I sorely miss and would have to be added to drakconnect
and, I presume, initscripts as well.

My home computer gets a dhcp address from a cable modem. The IP address I get is
a valid address, but the hostname that the dhcp server inside the cable modem
gives me is not. An example would be:
IP address: 24.241.233.100
hostname: dhcp-100

What I would like is an option that sets the hostname as the reverse lookup for
the IP address that I have been allotted.
In this case, the command 
host 24.241.233.100 gives me the address: 
c24.241.233.100.jvl.wi.charter.com and that's what I want as my hostname.


Let me be clear about this: The solution may consist of switching dhcp clients
or editing some init files, but I really want this to be done in an easy manner
through the GUI in drakconnect.
