hi guys,

how does a host know its own domain name?? 

in case of a host the corresponding OS has that information (eg. /etc/hosts.conf file)

if it is a router which does not have os like unix and runs on a real time os 
there will be no file system in a real time os. so how do the routers get their own 
domain name

a router may need its domain name in order to reply to a ICMP Domain Name Request.

so how does a router gets its own domain name?? 

through in-addr domain?? or will it have some memory area which will have the domain 
name??

help me guys
thanx a lot
