John, This behavior is related to how LX are configured for networking. Native illumos network utilities are used to bring up zone interface(s), including acquisition of DHCP leases. No advanced configuration is generated for dhcpagent, so it operates with defaults which do not send the hostname when requesting an address. A ticket has been opened (I don't have it handy) to address the inability to specify DHCP options for dhcpagent in LX zones. This issue could probably be rolled into that ticket.
