I tried the following: $ cat /etc/dhcp/dhclient-eth4.conf send host-name "host2"; $ cat /etc/dhcp/dhclient-eth5.conf send host-name "host1"; However, I still get the IP from eth4 mapped to host1. In /var/run/nm-dhclient-eth4.conf I see: send host-name "host1"; # added by NetworkManager While nm-dhclient-eth5.conf doesn't have any "send host-name" directive. What would option 1 involve? The NM version installed is 0.8.4~git.20110319t175609.d14809b-0ubuntu3.
