That isn't possible, in the general case. FQDN is a DNS concept, and often cluster nodes doesn't have anything to do with DNS; they don't use DNS for name resolution, and their IP address don't appear in any DNS zones. > Maybe a check to verify that the hostname lookup returned a fqdn, if > it didn't then add the domainname to it. Similar problem here; cluster nodes often don't have any concept of a "domain". -- Leif Nixon Systems expert ------------------------------------------------------------ National Supercomputer Centre Linkoping University ------------------------------------------------------------
