That should be fine. Depending on your router, it probably will not
resolve host names on the local network.

Ok - there is a route to the host.

Now that we know you can talk to 10.0.0.6. That means that 10.0.0.6
is not accepting the connection. That could be because of a
firewall, or it could mean the service in not running. I don't think
the r* services are running by default. Did you install portmap?
