Yes, VMWare ESXi is domain aware, the host itself talked to my router, which also has DNS stuff (my network is not ideal for this, there is some conflict that I’m trying to work out) and got the name localhost.localdomain, so idk if those settings would interfere, or it something like you said was going on.
The output from sudo apachectl -S is
