  domain name.

Not a jumpstart guru, but when I have a tool I think can be configured, sometimes I run strace/tusc/truss on it to see where it looks before it asks me. In some cases, the trace can be set so detailed, like with Solaris truss -u'*', that you can see every string compare! The truss output can be to a named pipe so you can filter it with an egrep to a managable size. Sometimes running 'strings' on the code helps identify critical environment variable or config file tag names.
