I'm really not liking that it is setting hostname to 'localhost' - if I run hostname I get the FQDN, the resolv.conf tells it to use the local DNS which has the zone configured for my local machine. So I don't get why it is so unhappy?

Go to the Split DNS article and run all the commands in the 'Verify....' section of that article.

Yep - all passed with flying colours....
