Laurie,
Real simple fix:
Add a line to the top of your dhcpd.conf file that looks like this:
use-host-decl-names on;
That will cause dhcp to send the hostnames to the workstations.
But, that's only for the workstations that you explicitly set
in dhcpd.conf. Not the workstations that get their info
from the range statements.
