I had to go into the /sbin/ifup file and look for an entry that looked like,

    echo -n "Determining IP information for ${DEVICE}..."
    if /sbin/pump ${PUMPARGS} -i ${DEVICE}; then
        echo " done."
    elif /sbin/dhcpcd ${DHCPCDARGS} ${DEVICE}; then
        echo " done."
    else
        echo " failed."
        exit 1
    fi

you need to change it to look like,

    echo -n "Determining IP information for ${DEVICE}..."
    if /sbin/pump ${PUMPARGS} -i ${DEVICE} -h hostname; then
        echo " done."
    elif /sbin/dhcpcd ${DHCPCDARGS} ${DEVICE} -h hostname; then
        echo " done."
    else
        echo " failed."
        exit 1
    fi

where hostname is the first part of your hostname, e.g. C1234567-b if your
host is c1234567-b.clmba1.mo.home.com.  This is all you have to do and it
will send your hostname to their dhcp server when it sends the request.  I
tried using the,
dhcpcd -r -h <hostname> <dev>
command like Rob suggested numerous times, but it never seemed to work,
because the request would still timeout every time.

As far as IP aliasing I would suggest looking at Red Hats site.  Here is a
link to a howto about setting it up;

Let me know if you need anything else.

Jim,
be cool and tell me the change you made for dhcp,
and also what you're doing to bring up ip aliasing
on the box.  there's a sample script on redhat's site
but I haven't tried it yet & have no idea how to go
about further securing the box.
