For me it was a pleasant surprise that DSL can do this without additional setup.

For my slackware box which is also configured via dhcp is not accessible by hostname...

So I just wondered what the trick is. Maybe it has to do with different kinds of clients: pump (DSL) vs. dhcpclient (slackware)?

Yes... I'd assume the client would also have to send the hostname to whichever DNS server(s).
