Are you using dhcpcd or pump or something else? There isn't really any DHCP configuration file, as that would defeat the whole point of DHCP, which is that you don't have to go configure every machine! The way DHCP works is basically that the client shouts onto the Ethernet:

Help!  I need an address!
  And the server replies:  How about this one?
Sure, that one sounds good.  May I have it?
  Here you go, and here's the other stuff that goes with it.

As you can see, there isn't much configuring that _could_ be done on the client side. If you just want more verbose logging, you can use "dhcpcd -d", which produces debugging output. If you're using pump, I don't know, but the man page should be able to tell you.

$ grep DHCP_HOSTNAME /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifup
    if [ -n "${DHCP_HOSTNAME}" ]; then
       PUMPARGS="-h ${DHCP_HOSTNAME}"
       DHCPCDARGS="-h ${DHCP_HOSTNAME}"
