We are trying to set up a DNS server for internal use (for subdomains and to activate OSX Server features other than AFP). Currently our DNS is handled externally and we have a static IP and a domain name.
We followed the settings laid out in Regan & White's Visual QuickPro Guide. Our problem: when we get to the part of "checking our work," the hostname command does not return the fully qualified domain name. Rather, the command just returns the name of the server computer alone ("server") instead of the expected domain name ("server.domain.com"). Yet when we try the host command, the correct IP numbers appear.
Can anyone help point us in the right direction?
(Sorry for the anonymity -- I'm not embarrassed! -- I've just not gotten a login password from your server in over an hour.)
