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 |

Please note this was tested on an amd64 setup with a single ethernet |
| 30 |
interface under VMware (running under M$ XP Pro x64). |
