I don't think regenerating the image should be necessary. If --payload

I think explicitly mentioning domain as well as hostname and IP-
address should be all that's required.
The hostname was mentioned already. I've added a reference to
domain now too.
Thanks.

If you send me a copy of your /dev/mtdblock1, I can verify whether you
