RE: Pi no longer responds to Hostname
I dont believe this to be an XBian DHCP client issue.
The only thing dhclient does is acquire IP, mask, gateway, NTP, DNS servers and advertise its own hostname (the "send host-name = gethostname();" bit in "/etc/dhcp/dhclient.conf")

If you want to diagnose DNS, first determine whats your assigned DNS server(s) by checking the "/etc/resolv.conf" file.
Then use the address from the "resolv.conf" file to query:

Terminal
nslookup <HOSTNAME> <IP_ADDRESS_FROM_RESOLV.CONF>

If it doesn't resolve properly, on consol you could try and release the DHCP lease on the Pi, delete all entries for your Pi in your "DNSMasq" box (including stored/cached MAC addresses) and renew the DHCP lease on the Pi:

Terminal
# Release DHCP lease:
sudo dhclient -r eth0

# Renew DHCP lease (with verbose log messages):
sudo dhclient -v eth0

There are only 10 types of people in the world: those who understand binary, and those who don't
