Check your bootp configuration.
The IP address being offered does not need to resolve; if I configure it to update my DNS, then at the time it's offered it will not resolve.
Here's the stanza from /etc/dhcpd.conf
host banana { fixed-address 192.168.1.20; option host-name "banana"; }
BUT the stanza's not required at all.
