Having the domain pointed to 192.168.0.12 is invalid as smb/nmb won't look in
/etc/hosts. You have to use the IP addresses only in this case. You can use
the hosts file if you remove .com and just use a simple host name, Ie: rhel2
without the domain.

At least I believe that to be the case. Tomorrow when the majority of the list
is back at work, you may get a better answer.
