What I use is put just "dhcp" in hostname.xxx, and then have
interface-specific blocks in /etc/dhclient.conf, e.g.

interface "ep0" {
        initial-interval 1;
        request subnet-mask, broadcast-address, routers,
                domain-name, domain-name-servers, host-name;
        send dhcp-lease-time 3600;
        supersede host-name "nyarlathotep";
        supersede domain-name "cis.upenn.edu";
        append domain-name-servers 158.130.6.141;
        media "media 10baseT";
}
