You probably need to update your hostname if you want it to be
something else.  dhclient (the DHCP client in CentOS 7) can also send
dynamic dns updates when configured.  (Look in the man page for
dhclient.conf, I believe it is do-forward-updates.)

I have dhclient.conf :

option classless-static-routes code 121 = array of unsigned integer 8;

request subnet-mask, broadcast-address, time-offset, routers,
        domain-name, domain-name-servers, domain-search, host-name,
        root-path, interface-mtu, classless-static-routes;

man dhclient.conf :
       The do-forward-updates statement

        do-forward-updates [ flag ] ;

       If  you want to do DNS updates in the DHCP client script (see dhclient-
       script(8)) rather than having the DHCP client do  the  update  directly
       (for  example,  if  you want to use SIG(0) authentication, which is not
       supported directly by the DHCP client, you can instruct the client  not
       to  do  the update using the do-forward-updates statement.  Flag should
       be true if you want the DHCP client to do the update, and false if  you
       don't  want  the  DHCP  client  to do the update.  By default, the DHCP
       client will do the DNS update.

To dhclient.conf , I should add
do-forward-updates true ;

Correct?
Do I need to reboot or somthing to see the effect?
