To make *buntu based systems set the hostname supplied by the dhcp-server use the following script named hostname
#!/bin/sh
# Filename: /etc/dhcp/dhclient-exit-hooks.d/hostname
# Purpose: Used by dhclient-script to set the hostname of the system
# to match the DNS information for the host as provided by
# DHCP.
#
if [ "$reason" != BOUND ] && [ "$reason" != RENEW ] && [ "$reason" != REBIND ] && [ "$reason" != REBOOT ]
then
return
fi
echo dhclient-exit-hooks.d/hostname: Dynamic IP address = $new_ip_address
hostname=$(host $new_ip_address | cut -d ' ' -f 5 | cut -d '.' -f 1)
echo $hostname > /etc/hostname
hostname $hostname
echo dhclient-exit-hooks.d/hostname: Dynamic Hostname = $hostname
The script should be put in the folder /etc/dhcp/dhclient-exit-hooks.d
