It's there:
send dhcp-client-identifier "myDHCPId"; # added by NetworkManager

The dhcp server is dnsmasq, and sets up dns entries for the dhcp client 
id.  It works for all my windows and mac systems.  But none of my Linux 
systems work (all NM).  My router (which runs dnsmasq) also shows a list 
of dhcp clients and their ids.  Again, win/mac work but NM doesn't.

What else should I check?
