You're right.
I've got:
# Alle Interfaces
modules=( "ifconfig" )
dns_servers="130.171.200.151 130.171.157.129"
dns_search="dewup.europe europe"
dns_domain="dewup.europe"
ntp_servers="130.171.200.145 130.171.200.144"
nis_domain="wup.de"
nis_servers="10.233.7.240"
# eth0 - LAN
config_eth0=( "10.233.7.145 netmask 255.255.248.0 broadcast 10.233.7.255" )
routes_eth0=( "default via 10.233.0.250" )
And this does work. As you can see, I've got dns_domain="dewup.europe" and when
I run "hostname -d", I get the expected result - dewup.europe.

The point has been explained.

The domainname. But you haven't set one. You've set the DNS domainname.
domainname
doesn't return the DNS domainname as the documentation clearly states. See
"hostname
--help" or "domainname --help".

Actually, I find it quite clear. The documentation states what needs to be
done and it states, what the commands return. It seems, that you've used
the wrong command.
