Reading the examples I come to the = same conclusion that I should be able to put dns_domain=3D"kosmanor.com" in /etc/conf.d/net and have it work. It does not, and I get the same result as Mick. As I have static IP's and a single domain I see no point in per-interface domains, but if I used them, what in the world could I expect domainname(1) to tell me= ? It seems to me the most common setups are DHCP or something like mine, an= d I would hope the documentation was clear for those common cases. --=20 Kevin O'Gorman, PhD --=20 gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
