I don't know if this helps but I was fiddling with setting up 2006.1 |
12 |
and I noted the following... |
13 |
|
14 |
1) dns_domain="" does nothing for setting the domain name. It appears |
15 |
to be set via /etc/hosts |
16 |
|
17 |
2) using "localhost" in /etc/conf.d/hostname will cause the domain |
18 |
name to default to "none" |
19 |
|
20 |
3) Setting a hostname in /etc/conf.d/hostname that doesn't match with |
21 |
an entry in /etc/hosts grabs the domain name of entries that are part |
22 |
of the same subnet. I don't have multiple interfaces on different |
23 |
subnets to test other cases of this but it works for me. |
24 |
|
25 |
My working config (mini.drew.homelinux.com) has the hostname of 'mini' |
26 |
set in /etc/conf.d/hostname, 'drew.homelinux.com' set in dns_domain= |
27 |
and mini.drew.homelinux.com listed under /etc/hosts. |
28 |
|
29 |
Please note this was tested on an amd64 setup with a single ethernet |
30 |
interface under VMware (running under M$ XP Pro x64). |
