I've got a dyndns.org domain which is the next thing I'm going to setup,
however with that I've got a problem I need to solve. In /etc/hosts will
I need the ip addres that my machine is currently using eg

127.0.0.1 	localhost.localdomain 	localhost
xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx	skymoo.dyndns.org 	skymoo

if so how can I write my current ip address in /etc/hosts?

Cheers

Adam
