Hi,
I've noticed something that seems odd to my logic but maybe others can 
explain it to me.

I'm using the DNS forwarder service of m0n0wall, plus I'm using the 
option to have m0n0wall "Register DHCP leases in DNS forwarder".

I've put in a lot of DNS overrides so that I can surf websites within 
the LAN properly in my web browser.  Basically pointing the domain names 
back in to the local IP so I'm not typing IP addresses all the time to 
view websites sitting behind the firewall with me on the LAN.  One 
machine hosts a few dozen websites so there are a lot of entries that 
point to it's LAN ip.  The machine uses DHCP to get it's IP address and 
it's a addresses that is always assigned by m0n0wall (pseudo static LAN 
basically).  The web machine already has a host name set for it, but for 
some reason when it gets it's IP information from the DHCP of m0n0wall, 
it thinks it's hostname is the first entry in the DNS override list.

So for example, the web machine's hostname is set for "webserver", but 
the first of the DNS overrides for m0n0wall is "blah.com" points to -> 
192.168.0.100, the machine will think it's hostname is now "blah.com" 
instead of "webserver".  It's odd because it's only the first entry in 
the list.  If I remove the entry, the next one somehow finds itself to 
be the hostname of that machine.  The machine is running Linux and I've 
looked through all the IP config stuff and I can plainly see that the 
hostname is set for "webserver".  All other times, the web machine will 
have the right host name if I remove all the DNS override entries, but 
when they come back in, all of sudden it thinks it's the other name now.

It's not hurting anything at the moment because the websites all work 
just fine.  It's just weird to see it on the command console 
root at blah dot com instead of root@webserver.

I'm not really sure how or why those overrides find their way to rename 
the hostname of the machine, so any theories would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Michael
