(and OpenOffice.org-1.1.3-2mdk installed) i also don't have a nisdomain defined (so it will be '(none)'). now, i started a sniffer on my ISPs dns' ips. (as defined in /etc/resolv.conf) and started openoffice. i saw no dns query at that time at all. I suggest you try upgrading your openoffice package.

I consider this an OpenOffice bug: on startup it queries my DNS for the IP of 'mycomputer.(none)' for some reason.

Setting DOMAINNAME in /etc/sysconfig/network is ignored. I believe that what you are referring to is the nisdomainname (or ypdomainname). DOMAINNAME is just too general (dns domain? yp domain? ms domain? etc.) put a line like this in /etc/sysconfig/network: NISDOMAIN= btw, i can't understand the connection between openoffice startup and the availability of a nisdomain.
