That's an easy one, and yes, it's *$#*^% annoying. Drop the hardcoded hostname in /etc/hosts and in /etc/sysconfig/network. And *smack* to Red Hat for doing that. One other thing that can trip you up is pcmcia drivers. If this is a laptop, this may not work right due to the order that the drivers load (pcmcia restarts the network). In that case, you may have to fiddle with options to dhcpcd/pump in the ifcfg* scripts, or change the order of the inits. Also, be aware that you can set your locally visible hostname to anything you want in /etc/sysconfig/network, using HOSTNAME and/or DHCP_HOSTNAME (depends on the Red Hat release; I set 'em both) without affecting name resolution of the DHCP interface. The specified hostname will be what you see in dhcpd.leases, which is handy.
