Hi, Doug.

What you think about adding a new feature to dhclient - Alternate IP
Configuration. This configuration can be specified in dhclient.conf
and take effect when a DHCP server not respond. MS Windows have a
similar feature.

Really I was hoping dhclient would have this sort of functionality where
it would resolve the ip given and set that as hostname, as as far as im
aware, isc-dhcpd will not send hostnames?
