I know not of this name you talk about.  However, I can tell you two things:

 - The machine was setup to do normal dhcp (no options) and it works
   perfectly.

 - In redhat-based distros that use the
   /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth* files, you set another
   variable called DHCP_HOSTNAME to set just that.  That will do what you
   ask for.
