[clug] hostname

[David C]

Static set in pihole (dhcp reservation) or static set on the server?
Assuming it's the latter, it is DNS resolution in pihole. Either way, it's
a pihole problem but I haven't used one.
For reference, pihole uses dnsmasq under the covers and only exposes a
subset of the functionality and may need you to fiddle with it in depth to
make it work the way you want.
