I wrote "the IP address is in /etc/hosts", but I think that should have
been "the IP address what your hostname resolves to" :-/

In many common scenarios that is likely to be the same as what is in
your /etc/hosts file, but really depends on how name resolution is
configured on your machine.

Hope this helps,
