Assuming you mean just convincing your machine that it's on a different
domain (rather than trying to convince teh rest of the net), you could
try
cd /etc
fgrep "oldhostname" *
and then (as root) replace all the occurrences of "oldhostname" with your
newhostname in those files. Be sure to check net-related subdirs like
/etc/ppp and /etc/smail, also.
This isn't a terrific way to do it, but I'm not sure how else to go about
it. It'd be nice if we had some standard -- like all scripts and config
files that needed host and domainnames could call /bin/hostname ... but I
guess that wouldn't work if your machine needed to respond to two
hostnames.
