Truthfully, I'm not sure.  I've got a NIC in this machine, so localhost
and my "real" hostname are different IP addresses anyways.  It's been
awhile since I've been without a NIC.

One other thing you could do is something like this instead of the two
lines:

        127.0.0.1       majestic.unknown.net    majestic localhost

That way it will recognize both localhost and majestic as "nicknames".
