Ok, the other question then is, do you just need the hostname to work locally for the computer? Cause if it needs to work externally as well, you can add it to DNS. name1 A 10.10.10.28 name2 A 10.10.10.29 Also, for local, you can add two entries to the /etc/hosts file. This will allow you to resolve the name. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Tony Gogoi" <tgogoi@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: "Adam Lang" <aalang@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Cc: <linux-admin@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Thursday, April 01, 2004 1:24 PM Subject: Re: Networking question > > Hi Adam, > > Sorry for any confusion. > Its: 1 host with 2 hostnames.
