hostname- show or set the system's host name
dnsdomainname- show the system's DNS domain name
domainname- show or set the system's NIS/YP domain name
nisdomainname- show or set system's NIS/YP domain name
ypdomainname- show or set the system's NIS/YP domain name

/etc/hosts is where static routes and loopbacks are defined.
