Re: Running cfengine without domain

[Alex Laslavic (Lenox)]

The server and client will always have to agree on a domain.  If you
don't have DNS, then you'll have to populate the /etc/hosts file on the
client so that a gethostbyaddr() call on the client machine returns its
full domain name.  

There may be another way, but that certainly worked for my DMZ machines
that are without DNS.
