i have a server colocated at a university.
It's Running redhat 8.
Network specifications
- server gets his IP from a dhcp server (allthrough the IP is allways the same , it's still a dynamic one)
- server's hostname (from the DHCP server) is something like s3453453.host.com
i have a domain, domain.com to which i have complete access to the zonefile.
I made an entry in the zonefile to point it to the IP of the server
now , www/ftp traffic etc. all works through my domain domain.com , but when i connect to irc i am :
user@s3453453.host.com
eg: uses the dhcp assigned host
but i want to use the domain.com
i tried , "hostname domain.com" in the console but that didn't seem to help
