I think it's historical. It *might* be tied to diskless clients. They've all
got their own /var, but an admin could conceivably replace their /var/crash
directories with symlinks to the mothership, but they could make the symlink
hostname-specific just as easily.
For the specific case you mentioned wrt DHCP, I believe there's an RFE open to
add macro support to dumpadm (i.e. /var/crash/$HOST), but I don't have the ID
handy.
