The hosts file needs to contain the name generated by the "hostname"
command.
It also needs to contain a fully qualified domain name, even if it isn't
"real".
so if the hostname of the server is oscar_server it should also have
oscar_server.oscardomain in the host file as well.
If you have multiple network cards, which it looks like you may, it is
slightly more complicated than this, but not much.
