Comment # 3 on bug 938402 from Freek de Kruijf

Before starting "yast lan" I entered the hostname and the domain in
/etc/hostname as host.domain.lc. Choosing the tab for host name and domain I
found that the name comes from the output of "dig -x <IP-address_of_the
interface>. These come from the local name server in the router and is not the
desired name. It is a local name in the network of the router.

In my view the priority should be the names in /etc/hostname and if one or both
names are not available the one derived from the name server can be used.
