Well... But what Mick showed was the expected behaviour. He
has NOT set a domainname - at least not the domainname that
the "domainname" command would return.
domainname --help clearly shows, what domainname will return:
The *NIS* domainname. This always used to be the case and
hopefully always will be the case.
With dns_domain, the DNS domainname is set. And that's returned
by dnsdomainname (or hostname -d).
