You need to make up a hostname for your machine. Masq doesn't care what
it is, because masq works at the packet level, with IP numbers, rather
than hostnames.
You should add whatever hostname you decide on, to the local host
database, in /etc/hosts, on your masq box. That will keep it from
trying to lookup that host from external DNS servers.
