Followinf your advice, I have added "DHCP_HOSTNAME=fedora" to my
/etc/sysconfig/networking/devices/ifcfg-eth0 file.
I have then restarted my network and still have the
"rfc1918.space.should.not.be.used.on.publicips" hostname.
I hope this is a bug (in the dhcp client scripts) that can be
fixed. Otherwise I'm at a loss at explaining what the flag
DHCP_HOSTNAME is for (it if doesn't work)

DHCP_HOSTNAME suggests to the DHCP server what your hostname is. I'm
not sure if the DHCP server is obliged to honor that request or not.
I'm guessing not. My guess is that this might be honored if the DHCP
server turns around and updates DNS dynamically. Otherwise, why should it?
