if you go on further details with dhcp file there is an option in the file that
when u allow specific Ips against specific mac addresses, hostname can also be given
manually...

Hi - I am using the CentOS v5 desktop installation and am setting up a
new lab for our engineering department. Initially I computers got their
IP addresses and computer names from the DHCP process and the computer
were getting the info from the dynamic pool. These name would be
d-23-76.mnsu.edu, where the d stood for dynamic and 23-76 refered the
IP address of xx.xx.23.76. The computer hostname would show up as
d-23-76. I did not want the computers to get different IP address so I
put the computers onto our DHCP table as manual DHCP clients by
assigning a name and mac address to an IP address. Now the computers
get the correct IP address but the hostname is localhost.
How can I get the correct name for hostname from DHCP?
