Hostnames are configured as usual during installation (or, later, in
/etc/hostnames). Additionally, DHCP clients send their hostname to the
server since this server does DNS as well (dnsmasq). No machine in my
LAN thinks my DynDNS domain is its hostname. It's just hosts from the
outside that think my router is wasteland.homelinux.net (while its
internal hostname is bluebox.wasteland.homelinux.net).
Disclaimer: I have no experience in "real" DNS setups. I am just playing
around in my local network.
