I guess you have to use this in dhcpd.conf: option host-name "raymonde.local"; At least, in my dhclient-eth0.leases file I have option host-name with the fully qualified host name... I am getting host names from DNS with "get-lease-hostnames on;" in dhcpd.conf, so I think it does what I expect (sending FQDNs) in that case... HTH, Filipe
