The above example passes a hostname to the client. This way, the client
knows its own name. BUT, that doesn't mean that the server will know
the hostname. For the server to associate a name with the client, you
need to make sure you either have the DNS Reverses setup properly,
or you need to put the entries in the /etc/hosts file for each
workstation.
What is even more confusing, is that the value you put into the
/etc/hosts file can be different from the value that you put in
/etc/dhcpd.conf. This results in the workstation having one value of
its hostname, but the server having a different value. I'm not
recommending you do this. Just beware that the locates for a hostname
are independent of each other.
