Try this in your .profile:
HOST=`hostname`
export HOST=${HOST%.austin.ibm.com} (or whatever your domain is)
and then use $HOST in your prompt. I have not tried this on my Linux
system under bash, but it is what I use at work under ksh, and it works
fine there. Bash is close enough that it should work for you, too.

The form of the verb varies according to its subject -- *I* am firm;
*you* are obstinate; *he* is pigheaded.
