Correct. This is the address that will be used if you don't have a static LAN address. > Later in the file, I've got: > > 192.168.254.30 yosemite.mars.lan yosemite Since you *do* have a static LAN address, you can use this one instead. (Assuming this address actually *does* get assigned to an interface.) The 127.0.1.1 address isn't needed in this case.
