Best practice for /etc/hosts file

best practice is to put an entry for the hostname on a separate line. take it out of the loopback line and create a line that associates the hostname and FQDN to the ip on the wire [8/26/10 6:00 PMEDT] Rob Borowicz: and one of the require for Dist Coll is: [8/26/10 6:01 PMEDT] Rob Borowicz: Event Mgr –> hostname [8/26/10 6:01 PMEDT] Z. Salinas: so it becomes this:

127.0.0.1   localhost.localdomain    localhost
10.175.111.222   hostname    hostname.domain.loc
