Probably not missing anything... Most likely your ISP simply doesn't
send a hostname. Here's a kludge that should get you a resolvable
hostname, though. Put this in /etc/dhclient-exit-hooks:
case $reason in
REBOOT | RENEW | REBIND | BOUND)
hostname `host $new_ip_address | awk '{ print $5 }'`
case $? in
0)
$LOGGER "New hostname: $(hostname)"
;;
*)
$LOGGER "Failed to set new hostname!"

esac

;;
esac
