It would provide hostnames when it has matching dhcp-record with IP and name (and hwaddr). With libvirt, that would be set by <ip><dhcp><host name='whatever'> in network configuration xml. I think it should use also /etc/hosts of the host. But dnsmasq can assign lease just by name if hwaddr is not present in static leases. But that requires static hostname on Fedora side to be sent to the server.
