You are talking about linux as a client, so you want to change your 
dhclient.conf or whatever dhcp client you use.
I don't think changing merely the hostname will work, because without changing 
the IP address, the re-named dns entries will take more time to re-populate 
even if dynamicaly updated by the windows ad-dns server, as it may take to try 
machine authentication with a 2nd OS on the same hardware.
I think, having two hostnames sharing the same physical hardware and IP is 
above the concept of AD/dynamic dns update.
