Domain Name Issues

I need my gentoo machine to rename itself based on its name in DHCP/DNS.

In my /etc/conf.d/domainname its set to have DHCP override the localhost.localdomain crap.

What am I missing?

Maybe you need to set dhcp options for your interface (this can be done in /etc/conf.d/net)

From dhcpcd man page:

here is my dilema... the computers in the lab are named by one interface. But there are twoo nics in each computer. One is just for imaging which I need to be turned off after boot.
