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
