[lug] DNS and Apache Server

[Nate Duehr]

You can just trick apache by putting the machine name in /etc/hosts...
works for sendmail too, in most cases. 

Assuming that /etc/nsswitch.conf file is setup to use /etc/hosts
correctly.

And assuming that apache is using the correct hostname...

And... 

You get the idea...
