  |    Well, you are requesting "host-name" from the DHCP server (the last 
  | entry in your config).  That's why you get one.  If you remove 
  | "host-name", it should remain whatever you set it to in /etc/myname.

That might work, but is the wrong solution.

Instead, just put 
	supersede host-name "my-name";
in dhclient.conf and let dhcp do its thing normally.

And in general, look at "man dhclient.conf" for all the other
stuff it is possible todo.
