Yeah, that's good. Now trying to resolve the local host address to a name will result in your host name. > this is a a ns2 server as well as www server, during install it asked me my > hostname i told it, it added it to 127.0.0.1 and ignored my ethernet addrees > (grumbles at redhat, this is a problem with your install program no?)

Apache will not be able to use this to generate 301 redirects, since web clients can't do anything useful with a location: http://localhost.localdomain/ > in my httpd.conf file the servername has untill tonight said > ServerName www.mydomain.com which is not the case in reverse DNS so i > changed it to ns2.mydomain.com (im slowly making things "correct") or > atleast i think i am..
