Network boot and hostname

I built a boot image on Debian system, I deployed it on eight machines and it worked. The problem is how can I configure the image to read the hostname from the DNS while booting?
Thanks

You need to use an app that can query a DNS server such as `host` or `dig`. You will need to write a small boot script to parse the output and use `hostname` to set it...
