Here is why this solved the issue for you. hostname -d and hostname --fqdn |
| 16 |
get the domain part by using gethostbyname() so it does a DNS lookup on your |
| 17 |
hostname. If your /etc/hosts.conf is set to files, bind then it will look |
| 18 |
your hostname up in /etc/hosts then query DNS. If your /etc/hosts file has |
| 19 |
an FQDN entry for your hostname then all is well. If not then your hostname |
| 20 |
is queried in DNS using the domain statement in /etc/resolv.conf. |

It sets the domain in /etc/resolv.conf |

This will determin whether DHCP will be allowed to replace your domain |
| 32 |
statement in /etc/resolv.conf. |

I hope this clears it up. |
