Host/domain names that are not in /etc/hosts can not be resolved until the network is up and the network can not be brought up till the host/domain names in /etc/sysconfig are resolved. Also, "hosts" must appear before "bind" in /etc/host.conf. This is not the default. Since you have to put name1.name2.com in /etc/hosts, you will know whether name1 is a host or a domain.
