I had attacked this by a circuitous route, putting the ip address in the
bookmark because I did not have an entry in /etc/hosts. When I got to
putting an entry in /etc/hosts I did not change the bookmark. So ...
Yes, that is totally correct. I am leaving it like that for the moment
to ensure there are no issues, and I can modify my FAQ 4.88 to reflect
this. Whatever else, for any one implementing a relay server it seems the
best way rather than have them editing away at key coding files.

I will return to this configuration in a short while and will report on
any issues or lack thereof.
