But it's kind of difficult for Emacs to guess which of the three names you
put there is "my machine name".  Maybe "localhost" could be ruled out
because it's sufficiently standard.  But "localhost.localdomain" is not
particularly standard, AFAIK.

Maybe the answer is that Emacs should just disregard the "127.*.*.*"
IP range.
