Looks like there are two ways to tame this: have a main.conf entry or
retry without sending a hostname. In the latter case people expecting
their host name to be added to DNS will be surprised if there is
something else going wrong in the network at the same time and their
hostname is therefore not sent to the server.

The first option will be clearer (will it?) to the user that no
hostnames are sent and DNS therefore cannot be expected to work
automatically. But of course this is now an option that hits all DHCP
connection, not the presumably "faulty" one. OTOH with this main.conf
one can prevent hostnames to be sent altogether.

Cheers,
