Hi! I just implemented this long-standing feature request in Ubuntu:
dhcp3 (3.0.4-12ubuntu2) feisty; urgency=low
.
* Add debian/patches/dynamic-hostname.dpatch:
- Add support for a new string type 'h' which behaves like 't' except
that '<hostname>' is changed to the current hostname.
- Change 'host-name' DHCP option type from 't' to 'h'.
- Based on a patch from Nathan O'Sullivan, thank you!
* debian/dhclient.conf: Enable send-hostname by default (value '<hostname>',
which our shiny new patch from above will translate to the actual
hostname). Closes: LP#10239 and two handful of duplicates.
You can find the debdiff at
http://people.ubuntu.com/patches/dhcp3.client-send-hostname.patch
Thanks,
Martin
