Another thing you (the original poster) could do, is if you want your
machine to work on the net like domain.com, You could simply name the
machine something.domain.com, CNAME domain.com to it, and reverse the
IP address to domain.com. This will do the trick to having the machine
show up on the internet (IRC, etc) as domain.com, while leaving your
machine with a "hostname" so your domain would be '.com' or in your
case, '.org' -Matt
