    this should be: localhost.localdomain       localhost

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.

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.
