I don't know if this helps but I was fiddling with setting up 2006.1
and I noted the following...
1) dns_domain="" does nothing for setting the domain name. It appears
to be set via /etc/hosts
2) using "localhost" in /etc/conf.d/hostname will cause the domain
name to default to "none"
3) Setting a hostname in /etc/conf.d/hostname that doesn't match with
an entry in /etc/hosts grabs the domain name of entries that are part
of the same subnet. I don't have multiple interfaces on different
subnets to test other cases of this but it works for me.
My working config (mini.drew.homelinux.com) has the hostname of 'mini'
set in /etc/conf.d/hostname, 'drew.homelinux.com' set in dns_domain=
and mini.drew.homelinux.com listed under /etc/hosts.
Please note this was tested on an amd64 setup with a single ethernet
interface under VMware (running under M$ XP Pro x64).
