Concerning RH or CentOS: I have to define /etc/hosts on all machines

that the HOSTNAME variable in /etc/sysconfig/network is used in any
form (correct me if I am wrong).
See /etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit. In that file you can find following lines
----

if [ -f /etc/sysconfig/network ]; then
. /etc/sysconfig/network

# Set the hostname.
update_boot_stage RChostname
action $"Setting hostname ${HOSTNAME}: " hostname ${HOSTNAME}

The ${HOSTNAME} variable comes form /etc/sysconfig/network.
