Well, if this is your machine, and you've paid Netidentity.com for the
rights to use that name from the hayes.org zone they control:
% host traveler2.hayes.org
traveler2.hayes.org has address 64.15.175.5
then that's probably fine. It should work OK off the net. If you're
using it as a client but from some other IP number, then some things
will work -- web browsing should be fine -- but others won't -- ssh(1)
will throw screaming hissy-fits. Things like e-mail can be persuaded
to work, assuming you want an address like lloyd@hayes.com or
lloyd@traveller2.hayes.com
Cheers,
Matthew
