Well, on my system the mount request reports the IP-Address, but the client
knows its hostname.

I don't understand that: So the hostname gets passed? I thought the problem
was that it did not get passed!
BTW; I never cared for the domain name, since all my clients are on the same
domain.

Did you try v. 3? Don't forget to add
option option-128 code 128 = string;
option option-129 code 129 = text;
to dhcpd.conf, apart from that the old config file should work. I have used
the woody versions of both dhcpd v2 and v3, and tehy both work with this
setting for fixed address clients:
group {
next-server myserver;
option domain-name-servers myserver;
use-host-decl-names on;
option option-128 e4:45:74:68:00:00;
option root-path "192.168.0.254:/opt/ltsp/i386";
host Client-A11 {
hardware ethernet 00:00:21:4e:4f:5a;
filename "/tftpboot/lts/vmlinuz-2.4.19-ltsp-1";
fixed-address Client-A11;
option option-129 "NIC=ne IO=0x300";
}
}

I think the only reason where it is important is lts.conf. If the client
does not know its hostname, per client settings in lts.conf do only work
with ip-addresses as section identifiers instead of hostnames.
