No that's fine. The dhcp *server* resolves the hostnames when it starts
up. Using hostnames, rather than IP addresses, is a strongly recommended
best practise.
If you snoop the traffic to the clients you will see the DNS server IP
addresses included in the responses.
What version of dhcpd are you using? What is the server's operating system?
