I am having some problems with setting up my domain name on my new gentoo box. I believe I have everything setup according to the handbook, but for some reason hostname -d does not return a domain name and just complains that it is not know. I have this working correctly on my older box, but I seem to recall that this was an issue on that box as well. I have domainname and hostname in my default and boot runlevels. This doesn't seem right, but it doesn't seem to be hurting anything. I have setup /etc/conf.d/domainname. I'm not sure what I'm missing.


If you're not running local DNS /etc/hosts might be the crucial file.
What did you put in there?

I haven't got local DNS running. The problem is this machine has a dynamic address. This is the information there. I'm not sure if that's the problem. I also don't know how to get dynamic DNS values. It's something that I want to be able to do. I am currently running BIND on two machines, but that won't solve this problem.
