Should look something like:
127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost
206.154.74.100 illuminatus.busprod.com illuminatus
The first obviously is localhost :) The second is an EXAMPLE IP you might
get from an ISP dialup. It doesn't have to be updated at every boot, but
should be an IP that you might get. If you've got a static IP, then put
that one in, either way you should have no trouble.
