if you don't own peasthope.yi.org, then I wouldn't use it even locally. It is a valid name. Then you should have entries for this box on your local network domain e.g. 172.23.4.1 [thisbox].[yourlocaldoamin] [thisbox] 172.23.5.1 ditto Then ensure either that these entries are duplicated on currie and heaviside or run dnsmasq on this box. > # Private LANs at home > 172.23.4.2 curie try 172.23.4.2 curie.[yourlocaldomain] curie > 172.23.5.2 heaviside ditto In short, its always helpful to have a local domain name, especially for handling email. The rest looks fine, I'm glad it works.
