this just what i never did get. how the hell does one refer to a machine 
as "domain.com" or whatever? i'm sure it can be done somewhere in DNS  
but I can't seem to see beyond host.domain.com.

: to set up all the right files in DNS. Check out the ORA book on DNS
: and Bind.

the linux networking guide by olaf kirsh is pretty good as a basic, 
beginner's guide.
