But finding the IP by hostname will fail a lot of the time.  Their  
are better way to find the ip.  And in most cases I just add the  
hostname to the 127.0.0.1 line in /etc/hosts which works fine. (not  
sure if it breaks anything) but you can find the ip in a more proper  
way.

This is an example I came up with... it doesn't work so well on BSD  
but they have nice a nice getifaddrs they can use to do the same thing.
