Can someone PLEASE explain to me WHY CentOS WILL NOT allow you to set a hostname then obtain the domain information from DNS?
Here's now it works (and it does work, I've tested it) under RH 7.1:
1. install
2. set hostname in /etc/sysconfig/network (do not put domain info, just hostname)
3. plug machine into network
4. reboot
5. rejoice, vtcmail.gc.lucent.com is resolvable by other machines
Do the same thing with CentOS.. doesn't work. Set the hostname after reading the hostname man page.. doesn't work.
NOTHING works!
BAH!!!

Why does a mail server get a DHCP address?! Static is the only way to go for
servers, static IP, hard coded DNS (no dynamic), etc.

Well, among other things there were DNS gremlins at work at Lucent
today partially leading to my inability to get mail into the box. The
lucent mail edge processor box is on one network while the mail server
is on another network. The mail server got a new DHCP address from the
local server and what I think happened was the DNS server on the edge
network may not have known the ip address of the new server.
Oh well, I'm heading back there tomorrow to see if I can fix everything.
Fun.
