How can I alocate a hostname based on MAC adress and DHCP?

Hi, i have a small network (50 comps) and I want to alocate each
computer a hostname based on the MAC adress. Eg:
comp1.lab1.....etc,etc.... Even if somebody change the hostname, on the
next reboot the computer must take the hostname from the server based
on the MAC adress. Any ideas?
Thanks
