Just checked: I don't have any DHCP related errors in the log file.

When I did a "nslookup hostname" or "nslookup hostname.domain.com" it returned an old IP address I had a few weeks ago. Then I did "sudo dhclient -r eth0" to release, replaced <hostname> in dhclient.conf with the actual hostname followed by a "sudo dhclient eht0". Then I did a nslookup again and then nslookup couldn't resolve it anymore.

When I use this instead:
send fqdn.fqdn "hostname.domain.com";
send fqdn.server-update on;
it does work, but I don't want to send a fqdn since I use my laptop at other sites too.

Weird indeed..
