No. There is no dns entry. Yep, it was the localhost line. I had the
hostname for machine there too. For some reason, it blew everything up

127.0.0.1     test localhost localhost.localdomain
192.168.1.200 test.domain.com test

And that didn't work. Removing test from 127.0.0.1 seemed to fix the issue.
I don't see why it was wrong before. Hmm, well, lets see how the next few
things go
