I've tended to find that it's easier to do things if you do have a
domain name, even if you've faked up one just for your LAN.  Much better
to have one that you've created, than the overly long "localdomain" that
Red Hat and Fedora favour.

Certainly, in the past, I'd come across one or two things that flatly
refused to accept me trying to use a single hostname, insisting on a
domain name with some dots in it.
