The hostname configured on the box does not have to be reflected in what the DNS returns. It is down to the DNS configuration (which in this case is another machine). Sometimes you can get DNS updated by, say DHCP, but I do not think this is the case. It simple the DNS configuration needing to be altered if the reverse DNS lookup result is to be different.
