Bug Description
If dhclient sent the hostname when it requested an ip address, Dnsmasq can use it to provide local dns for that name. In /etc/dhcp3/
send host-name "`hostname`";
This would be very helpful.
Note: the original reporter indicated the bug was in package 'dhclient'; however, that package was not published in Ubuntu.
