Well, not likely, because at the point where the name should be sent,
the mac booting process is out of the way.
At this point, I'd try setting the use-host-decls option, and then use
wireshark to watch the dhcp packets between the server and the client,
to see if it includes the hostname.
I could take a look at the packet trace if you'd like. here's what
you'd need to run, to capture the packet stream:
tcpdump -i eth0 -s0 -w /tmp/tcpdump.out port 67 or 68
Make sure you use the proper ethX interface. Might be eth1 on your system.
Start that command running, try booting the client, then kill the
tcpdump command and send me the /tmp/tcpdump.out file as an attachment.
