2 NICs--One Hostname

[Eric Hines]

I'm running FC3 on an Intel server that has two NICs on the 
motherboard.  I'm trying to give the two NICs separate hostnames and 
separate DNS IPs and DNS search paths (one NIC (eth0) is intended to 
face the Net; the other (eth1) will run a LAN that is not intended to 
have any contact with the Net.  Eth1 has a static IP address, and eth0 
gets its automatically.)  However, system-config-network will only allow 
me to assign one hostname to both NICs, presumably because 
system-config-network writes these data to the same /etc/resolv.conf.

Does anyone have any way to work around this?

On a side note, my /etc/hosts has the loopback IP/domain as its first 
line, yet system-config-network doesn't show it in the GUI under the 
Hosts tab.  I seem actually to have all my loopback capabilities.  Why 
doesn't this show up in the GUI?

Thanks

Eric Hines
