I've come accross an interesting problem....if I alias localhost to my machine name in
netinfo, then BIND nameserver (I run named locally) whinges about looking up the localhost
name.  Some programs and services rely upon being able to resolve localhost to 127.0.0.1
and your IP number to something sensible (well, rely in the sense that an IP number looks
ugly).

However, renderd will not work unless you alias your localhost to your localmachine name,
or viceversa.

Am I the only person to notice this, is there a workaround?  I'd like to render, but
accurate nslookups are more important.
