Out of curiosity, why is it "bad" to have two lines with different
hostnames pointing at the same IP address? Other than the fact that it
isn't very elegant?
I have it in my system because it is a laptop, and I never know from one
day to the next what my IP address will be. Therefore, I make it really
easy for my system to resolve the IP address of itself, by pointing it
at the standard localhost address.
