For some reason I think you need to have "HOSTNAME=" in your
/etc/sysconfig/network file .. meaning make the variable blank. There is
also a dhclient option you can create in /etc/dhcp/dhclient-<int>.conf
something like send fqdn.fqdn <hostname> but usually you don't need that
if your use DHCP_HOSTNAME correctly ...
