This is dhcpd's default configuration for these values:

option server.ddns-hostname =                                               \n\
  pick (option fqdn.hostname, option host-name);                            \n\
option server.ddns-domainname = config-option domain-name;                  \n\
option server.ddns-ttl = encode-int(lease-time / 2, 32);                    \n\
option server.ddns-rev-domainname = \"in-addr.arpa.\";";

So, logically, to get the behaviour you just described, you would
configure the following in dhcpd.conf (over-riding the above):

	option server.ddns-hostname = option fqdn.hostname;
	option server.ddns-domainname = option fqdn.domainname;
