	Unless you just comment that line out . . . That and the line about using
canonical names. lose them, and apache will rely on the resolver to understand
who it is. 

	You may still need to restart apache, even if you edit your ip-up script so
that it runs "hostname" to set the hostname to the current fqdn.
