  35 &gt;<i>I understand this. My question is is the Server Name (as defined

  39 </I>Hi Tyson,

  41 No, the ServerName entry doesn't have to have anything to do with the
  42 hostname of the box the services are running on.. - most networks use
  43 services.network.org as the services ServerName, but there usually isn't
  44 actually a DNS entry for that hostname (Since no-one can actually connect
  45 to the services anyway, there would be no point in doing this...)
