Yes, but that is not the same as giving out a hostname.
If, for instance, we are talking about Windows Server 2003 DHCP and
DNS, then DHCP can update DNS with the hostname of the device and the
IP data, but the device needs to have a hostname then ;-)
You're wrong. My router 'suggests' hostnames to the clients.
http://www.iana.org/assignments/bootp-dhcp-parameters (check tag number 12)
Many (most?) clients ignore this field and many (most?) DHCP servers
don't fill it in but it's there and it can be used along with a huge
list of other options.
