Andrew,
If you have only one domain, and you do not use the 'machine.comain.name',
but use 'domain.name' for the Official Host Name, then you want another line
in the HOSTS file with that machines IP and 'domain.name' along with the
line that has the IP and 'machine.domain.name'.
Happy Holidays!
Daniel Donnelly
