The actual hostname would be the same, but other machines on the network would resolve it as whatever you set the DNS name to.
Thanks about it.

As I need to create a image for a computer lab which have a lot of Virtual Machines (by VMWare workstation) on top of it. I want to solve the duplicate hostname problem.

4 Computer Lab, each lab has 25-50 Computers,
all the computer is Windows XP locked by SteadyState.
On top of it, there will be a lot of different VMWare image. I am thinking if it is possible to use DHCP + DNS to solve the duplicate hostname problem. ]]> Reaperhk http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/blog/reaperhk-353680/is-it-possible-to-ask-dhcp-assign-a-randomize-hostname-to-client-2428/
