  41 </I>&gt;<i>
  42 </I>&gt;<i> host and IP are directly related ... DNS is simply assigning a name to a

  44 </I>&gt;<i>
  45 </I>&gt;<i> My domain is flamebait.org its IP address is 208.247.194.146 of these

  47 </I>&gt;<i> people associate things with names, like streets, friends, cars, houses
  48 </I>&gt;<i> etc ... with out DNS we would still be typing in IP's as addresses. so
  49 </I>&gt;<i> 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
  50 </I>&gt;<i> again qx.net is easier to type and remember ... sence the internet
  51 </I>&gt;<i> revolves around numbers(IP addressing) it's easier for your computer to
  52 </I>&gt;<i> use the numbered address(IP address) and if you specify in your config
  53 </I>&gt;<i> file &quot; services.flamebait.org &quot; instead &quot; 208.247.194.146 &quot; your copy of
  54 </I>&gt;<i> services will just have to resolve it to the IP anyway ... so using the
  55 </I>&gt;<i> IP would be easier for your services ... especially if something

  58 I understand this. My question is is the Server Name (as defined
  59 by the ServerName entry in services.conf) related to the
  60 hostname/IP of the box? Convention seems to make the Server Name
  61 equal to the hostname but is this required?
