Hi Tyson,

No, the ServerName entry doesn't have to have anything to do with the
hostname of the box the services are running on.. - most networks use
services.network.org as the services ServerName, but there usually isn't
actually a DNS entry for that hostname (Since no-one can actually connect
to the services anyway, there would be no point in doing this...)
