No, I think it's a bug in your domainname changes. I don't think you should do the domainname at all if the hostname has a dot in it. Most machines I have access to (and that includes machines that are professionally maintained, not just my own cruddy setup) says "(none)" to domainname and have the full hostname in hostname. And even the ones that use domainname tend to not have a fully qualified DNS domain there. You need to use dnsdomainname to get that, and I don't even know how to do it with standard libc. So how about something like this? (Somebody who actually knows how these things should be done - please feel free to pipe up).
