Sending hostname with DHCP

[Todd Nine]

Hi all,
I need some help with a DHCP client and I'm running into some serious 
issues. I'll give a brief overview of what I want, what is working, and 
where I need help.


   1. What I want
   
   I would like to have all my DHCP clients to send their hostname. This 
   way I can connect to any client regardless of OS.
   
    2. What is working
   
   I have a router/firewall running Fedora Core 2. It runs Bind 9.2.3 and 
   Dhcpd 3.0.1. I have successfully set up my domain of 
   nine.homelinux.com <http://nine.homelinux.com>, and I have dhcpd 
   updated the hosts in that domain using a TSIG key. I can ping my router or 
   any other windows machine from a windows clients.
   
    3. What I need help with.
   
   Highest Priority
   
   I cannot get my Fedora 4 workstations to work correctly. They send 
   their hostname, and when I view the leases with the webmin interface for 
   dhcp, the hostname shows up. However, I cannot ssh into them or ping them 
   from my windows machines by hostname, only by IP. I have included my 
   /etc/dhclient.conf on the first Fedora 4 box I'm trying to get working. See 
   the lower priority section below for logging from my DHCPd dns section
   
   send host-name "marge";
   send dhcp-client-identifier 1:0:a0:24:ab:fb:9c;
   #send dhcp-lease-time 3600;
   #supersede domain-name "nine.homelinux.com <http://nine.homelinux.com>
   ";
   #prepend domain-name-servers 127.0.0.1 <http://127.0.0.1>;
   request subnet-mask, broadcast-address, time-offset, routers,
   domain-name, domain-name-servers;
   #require subnet-mask, domain-name-servers;
   #timeout 60;
   #retry 60;
   #reboot 10;
   #select-timeout 5;
   #initial-interval 2;
   #script "/etc/dhclient-script";
   #media "-link0 -link1 -link2", "link0 link1";
   #reject 192.33.137.209 <http://192.33.137.209>;
   
   #alias {
   # interface "ep0";
   # fixed-address 192.5.5.213 <http://192.5.5.213>;
   # option subnet-mask 255.255.255.255 <http://255.255.255.255>;
   #}
   
   #lease {
   # interface "ep0";
   # fixed-address 192.33.137.200 <http://192.33.137.200>;
   # medium "link0 link1";
   # option host-name "andare.swiftmedia.com<http://andare.swiftmedia.com>
   ";
   # option subnet-mask 255.255.255.0 <http://255.255.255.0>;
   # option broadcast-address 192.33.137.255 <http://192.33.137.255>;
   # option routers 192.33.137.250 <http://192.33.137.250>;
   # option domain-name-servers 127.0.0.1 <http://127.0.0.1>;
   # renew 2 2000/1/12 00:00:01;
   # rebind 2 2000/1/12 00:00:01;
   # expire 2 2000/1/12 00:00:01;
   #}
   
   Lower Priority
   
   I'm constantly getting these error messages in my DHCP logs. Does 
   anyone have any idea what this means?
