/etc/sysconfig/network Requirement for EBS R12.1 on RH5.8 64bit

We are migrating EBS R12.1.3 from AIX to RH5.8 64bit. I am following "Oracle E-Business Suite Installation and Upgrade Notes Release 12 (12.1.1) for Linux x86-64 (Doc ID 761566.1)"
In this document, under the header "Verifying Host Names" we see:
5.    Verify that the /etc/sysconfig/network file is formatted as follows:
HOSTNAME=[node_name].[domain_name]

Our Linux Administrators are telling me they can and will not add the domain_name to this file, so the file would look like:
HOSTNAME=[node_name]

We would like to know why it is needed in more detail.  Nslookup reflects FQDN, Oracle should not be referring to this file directly.
