Softsqueeze will ask your system to translate thse hostnames.  And your
system does so according to your hosts table and/or DNS, and network
switch table.  Localhost translates to 127.0.0.1, and refers of course
to your internal loopback network interface.

Your computer's hostname would be used by external clients, and is
mapped to the IP address of your (primary) network interface.

What your system returns is something you'll have to test.  Compare
what you get back when you ask your system to translate:

localhost
yourhostname
yourhostname.
yourhostname.yourdefaultdomain.

You'll probably find that one of them generates an error, and this is
probably the name you entered into Softsqueeze.
