ifcfg-eth0 added:
HOSTNAME=test1a.abc.com
ifcfg-eth1 added:
HOSTNAME=test1b.abc.com

/etc/hosts added:
IP1	test1a.abc.com
IP2	test1b.abc.com

Still didn't update the DNS appropriately... infact it's not registering
either interface... Should I be running BIND or something similar?  It
seems to be this should be part of the inittools like you implied below,
but I can't figure it out.
