No, host names are bound to IP (as MAC addresses are a different layer).

You can use a "cascaded approach". If you use DHCP to provide IP
addresses, provide them on the basis of MAC addresses. You can
do that with the dhcpd.conf configuration file:
host domain1 {
hardware ethernet 00:12:34:56:78:90;
fixed-address 192.168.1.101;
}
host domain2 {
hardware ethernet aa:bb:cc:dd:ee:ff;
fixed-address 192.168.1.102;
}
Then you can use those addresses in the hosts configuration file:
192.168.1.101 domain1.example.com domain1
192.168.1.101 domain1.example.com.
192.168.1.102 domain2.example.com domain2
192.168.1.102 domain2.example.com.
So the MAC 00:12:34:56:78:90 will be associated with domain1.example.com,
and aa:bb:cc:dd:ee:ff with domain2.example.com.
I hope I didn't misinterpret your question. Is that what you were
searching for?
