Perhaps we ought to come up with some policy for this -- store an
/etc/hostinfo file which contains names,  ip addresses,  and domain names
which refer to the current host,  and require that all programs who need
to find the hostname read it,  or that their config utils read it.
Changing hostnames and dns names is a pain ...
