  52 The servers NEED to be pinged.
  53
  54 &gt;<i> One more question. The Server Name is not related at all to the
  55 </I>&gt;<i> hostname or IP of the box. Correct?
  56 </I>&gt;<i>
  57 </I>
  58 host and IP are directly related ... DNS is simply assigning a name to a
  59 number. so for example:
  60
  61 My domain is flamebait.org its IP address is 208.247.194.146 of these
  62 two which is easier to remember for more people? ... the name is, most
  63 people associate things with names, like streets, friends, cars, houses
  64 etc ... with out DNS we would still be typing in IP's as addresses. so
  65 instead of <A HREF="http://qx.net">http://qx.net</A> you would type &lt;A  HREF=&quot;<A HREF="http://208.235.89.10&quot;">http://208.235.89.10&quot;</A>&gt;<A HREF="http://208.235.89.10&lt;/A">http://208.235.89.10&lt;/A</A>&gt;, which
  66 again qx.net is easier to type and remember ... sence the internet
  67 revolves around numbers(IP addressing) it's easier for your computer to
  68 use the numbered address(IP address) and if you specify in your config
  69 file &quot; services.flamebait.org &quot; instead &quot; 208.247.194.146 &quot; your copy of
  70 services will just have to resolve it to the IP anyway ... so using the
  71 IP would be easier for your services ... especially if something
  72 happened to your DNS server.
  73
  74 I'd like to make a statement in regards to localhost vs IP, after some
  75 thought last night. It might be easier to use the localhost interface to
  76 talk to the server for services hosted on the same maghine for the
  77 reasons of less traffic, sence all inbound and outbout traffic is
  78 eth0(NIC). I would like to also add that I personaly do not use
  79 loopback(localhost) I use eth0 to comunicate with services.
