Not mandatory.  If you put them there, then you'll be able
to access them easily from the oxygen console.  You may end
up doing this more than once:

      ping luke

But if luke is not in your /etc/hosts, then you'll have to type:

      ping luke.mylongassdomainname.net

Heh.  The minimum you want in your /etc/hosts is something
like what I do for my home setup:

    127.0.0.1                localhost
    10.2.3.254               hub.schalit.net   hub
    63.194.213.179           adsl-63-194-213-179.sfnc21.pacbell.net
    10.2.3.1                 luke.schalit.net  luke
    10.2.3.2                 yoda.schalit.net  yoda ftp web ntp1
    10.2.3.3                 xena.schalit.net  xena
    10.2.3.4                 leia.schalit.net  leia

But you'd only need the first three lines, adjusted for your setup.
Notice I left out the hostname alias for my external ip.  Aliases
are not mandatory.  It's debateable whether anything besides
the first line is mandatory, but three lines is the best minimum.
Good Luck,
Matt
