OK then. How about to write a little shell script to change both
hostnames in
/etc/hostname and /etc/dhcp3/dhclient.conf in once?

I have experimented with:
$ grep --invert-match "send host-name" /etc/dhcp3/dhclient.conf

But i couldn´t get a shell script working, to exchange this line.
Once this is done it should be easy to update those files.

Maybe someone else can help out with this.

bye Thilo
