I am looking for the method to switch the doamin name of my system on the
fly. I have two possible connections to the world.
1) Through work. I have an allocated IP address and host name, and
domain name
2) Recreational ISP that allocates a dynamic IP at hook up. Obviously
a different domain name.
I am not sure where the host and domain names are taken from.
sysconfig has:
hostname="xxxx.sso.wdl.lmco.com"
resolv.conf has:
domain sso.wdl.lmco.com
But when in recreational mode I want to change the domain name to the
ISP's domain and possibly set my hostname to what his DNS says I am.
Is it possible to us some command to change that domain name. I think I
can get the host name changed, but can't find a similar command for the
domain.
Thanks in advance
