Ok, I created a /etc/dhclient.conf which contains:

interface "iy0" {
    request subnet-mask, broadcast-address, time-offset, routers, domain-name, domain-name-servers, host-name;
}

After reboot, the hostname is back to the dhcp-###-###.  And 
yes, iy0 is the NIC in question.  Any thoughts on what I am 
doing wrong?
