Potential error with local OS and DNS

Not sure if this is an error, but I was playing around with a network monitoring tool and it coughed up this error:

Potential DNS Errors
Key: IP Address → Resolves To → Reverse Lookup
192.168.28.10 → hda → localhost.localdomain
OS on the machine is configured with a name that is different from its hostname

Do I need to worry about this at all? A simple nslookup from my local windows client reports the proper name for my hda @ 192.168.28.10 as hda.heritage.com

heritage.com is my local domain name for all of my client machines.

Thanks,
