Yeah, I thought that is what would happen. I have the line: 127.0.0.1 localhost spencerogden.com in /etc/hosts and : order hosts,bind in resolv.conf
But things didn't seem to be taking the expected action when the network was unavailible, hostname would just hang as it timed out through the name servers. oh well, its working now.
