FQDN = Fully Qualified Domain Name. If your hostname is "fred", and your
domain name is "foo.com", then fred's fqdn is "fred.itworld.com".
The non-routable networks are documented in RFC 1918. There are three
sets: 10/8, 172.16/12, and 192.168/16. That is,
10.x.x.x, netmask 255.0.0.0
172.16.x.x thru 172.31.x.x, netmask 255.240.0.0
192.168.x.x, netmask 255.255.0.0
