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.
