That's just a shortened version of "interface".

You should move 'loghost' back to the 127.0.0.1 line. The important thing
is that the name 'frasse' is matched with the 192.168.0.181 address.
You can check that the system understands this by running:
getent hosts frasse
If that shows 192.168.0.181 then your configuration is good. If it doesn't
show 192.168.0.181 then you need to fix that before going any further.

It's not really dead, but the interface believes that it's a
point-to-point link.
That will prevent it from working correctly. Your /etc/hostname.e1000g0
file probably contains the server name twice, like this:
frasse frasse
or perhaps it contains both the name and the IP address, like this:
192.168.0.181 frasse
or this:
frasse 192.168.0.181
Any of these would cause the interface to believe that it should try to
operate as a point-to-point interface, which is not what you want.
The /etc/hostname.e1000g0 file must contain the server name only once.
If you aren't certain about what's supposed to go into this file then just
do this:
echo 'frasse netmask + broadcast +' > /etc/hostname.e1000g0
and then reboot.
