Thanks Eric, I will. Sorry for the other reply coming after yours. I had started the reply and in the middle went to cleanup and have breakfast before heading out (as I must do now).

Oh. The question that comes to mind is, where to these names come from?
Since they're in the DHCP Client (lease) table, they're apparently coming
from the DHCP session. The host names can be assigned by the server, or
requested by the client. Look into dhclient (or whichever dhcpclient your
linux box uses) for a way to specify the client's host name.
