If I try to set up DNS to use any other domain name, I get an error message from named saying that the name is bad, regardless of the hostname setting in /etc/rc.conf. I think I set this when I was trying to get PPP to work, with the idea that I could change it later. Unfortunately, I've made so many changes in so many files while I've been learning how to install and configure FreeBSD that I can't remember where I set this. I been going through the documentation for hours and can't find where to set this. Does anyone know where the domain name is set? Bob Hall Know thyself? Absurd direction!
