Yes, no problems there.

Well, I'm too confused to know!
Here's my setup now:
/etc/hosts:
127.0.0.1 localhost localhost.localdomain
127.0.0.1 hal9k hal9k.org
202.54.1.1 bom2 bom2.vsnl.net.in
127.0.0.1 satyap satyap.myip.org
(I think only the first and last lines are necessary, bom2 is just in
case, hal9k is legacy)
I'm having sendmail masquerade all @satyap.myip.org as
@satyaonline.cjb.net. I've also set smarthost (DS) as bom2.vsnl.net.in.
My only problem is that while all this works, it doesn't FEEL right to use
a domain (satyap.myip.org) for which one does not have an official ip and
MX record. The fact that I don't understand the terminology completely,
and which data goes exactly in which file, does not help! I'm always
groping around in the dark :(
The MS-like rebooting after every hostname change is a rant in itself.
