I've been following this thread for the whole day, but despite

So could someone please summarise it?

Pardon my thick skull. Alexander Skwar, I appoligise for my last post.
Darn this morphine I have to take for my pain.
I am confusing hostname and domain name.

The kernel knows it. Of course, it has to be set on each boot.
I actually have no idea, how gentoo sets it, but most obviously
it will be done by an "dnsdomainname" and "hostname" call.

This was discussed here before; I think the solution was
to put something somewhere in a specific order. I have this working
properly and these're my files:

OVERRIDE=1
DNSDOMAIN="gvid.cz"
NISDOMAIN=""

By default, the 'domainname' command returns your NIS/YP domainname,
which not many of us have. Try 'dnsdomainname' instead - it may have
the result you're looking for.
