Thanks for the suggestions.
That's right, I'm not using DHCP.
I searched through /etc and /usr/local/etc for calls to hostname and for the
string www.mydomain.com and all I found was a call to the command "hostname"
in /etc/rc.network and my setting of the hostname variable in /etc/rc.conf.
After perusing /etc, apparently rc.network is called by /etc/rc after
sourcing rc.conf and this is how the hostname in /etc/rc.conf becomes the
hostname of the machine. So that appears to be fine.
Perhaps another tack, what is the last script executed during boot up? If I
add a line like "/bin/hostname www.mydomain.com" to /etc/rc.local should
this force the hostname change?
Thanks,
Mike

I understand DHCP setting the hostname, which you are not using.
I understand DNS or /etc/hosts reporting the old name on the network,
but it should not effect hostname.
I would look for the old name:
# grep -r mydomain.com /etc
