dhcpd creating corrupt DNS entries via DDNS

Well, "cat\032/etc/FRIENDLYHOSTNAME.hop.usd.lab.emc.com" broke that process & assumption.  That's how I knew.

I intend to do both.  I'll incorporate something similar to Denis Laventure's suggestion in my dhcpd config.  I'll also add a routine to the script that builds our reverse zones that rejects & advises of non-friendly hostnames in forward records.
