 Addendum
 You can also do something like

 127.0.0.1      localhost
 127.0.0.2      desiredmachinename  desiredmachinename.domain.com   
alternatename.domain.com   alternatename.alternatedonaim.com   
alternatename.alternatedomain.alternatetoplevel  shortname

 All of the names ( except localhost ) resolve to 0.2 and all ( including 
localhost )
 use the internal network routing.

 ( watch the word-wrap )
