Ah, I didn't know that client option.  Unfortunately, it seems like 
Gentoo might so it a different way as there is no /etc/dhcp or similar 
folders or config files.  Gentoo likes to do things like that with 
/etc/conf.d/net, so perhaps that is where I need to set the host name to 
be sent.  I'll look into that, thanks!
