I have found that having anything other that "localhost" after
127.0.0.1 caused me problems in the past. I use the dummy driver to
create a fake network:
--- /etc/hosts ---
127.0.0.1 localhost
192.168.117.2 psyche.evansnet psyche www.evansnet news.evansnet
[ 192.168.*.* are available for provate use; see RFC 1918. ]
--- /etc/hostname ---
psyche
--- /etc/init.d/network
#! /bin/sh
ifconfig lo localhost
route add -net 127.0.0.0
ifconfig dummy0 psyche
route add -net 192.168.117.0
[ dummy if it's in the kernel, dummy0 if it's a module. ]
There still seem to be things that expect _one_, _permanently_
connected interface and hostname. :-(
