It all seems to be working fine - some with two 127 entries and some with one and on different platforms, so as long as it works I am cool!

I was just interested as to why some have:

127.0.0.1	localhost	localhost.localdomain
127.0.0.1	server		server.domain.com
166.66.67.68	server		server.domain.com

And others just have 

127.0.0.1	localhost	localhost.localdomain
166.66.67.68	server		server.domain.com

Thanks again for all your help - this has been driving me nuts for years!

Kind regards

Colin
