yes i understand that, however we aren't talking about the hostname we're talking about the symbolic hostname. it associates it with that specific IP which is unique to that interface in /etc/hosts not /etc/myname.

If i select during install to setup em0 first, it will NOT prompt for symbolic name. But when setting up em 1 it will then prompt me for em1s symbolic name but not prompt for em0

If i select during install to setup em1 first, it will NOT prompt for symbolic name. But when setting up em 1 it will then prompt me for em0s symbolic name but not prompt for em1

See the confusion, it only prompts for the second interface configured. i will have 2 lan facing nics (em1, em2). Each for a different subnet and network and one nic for egress.

Therefore it only wants it on one interface. I can't have the same host name in /etc/hosts for 3 separate ips (em0, em1, em2).
