I've had the same issue a couple weeks back. The solution is to have no hostname defined. When this is the case, dhclient will set the hostname to the one received from dhcp. You can "delete" your hostname this way: just remove /etc/hostname and you should be ready to go. Of course, instead of removing you should do "mv /etc/hostname /etc/hostname.bak" so you can easily restore your system if something goes wrong.
