There is a line in dnsmasq configuration file.

dhcp-host=00:0C:29:5E:F2:6F,192.168.1.201,os02

That's the hostname associated with the client. Even if the client
reports a different hostname when requesting the lease, the hostname
used in the config will be what is served in DNS.



PS: Simon, I saw a typo in my version of the man page under
"--dhcp-host": "omit" is misspelled. Sorry for not patching, but
this should be a simple fix. :) (And maybe you already have it
fixed, my version is not current.)

Is fixed in the current version, I think.
