#3 isn't really necessary - a single host name can have multiple
addresses - but different names can be helpful.

#4 is OK if you're using /etc/hosts to resolve the name/address, but you

I'd add #7:  make sure your kernel has OPTIONS GATEWAY (all the GENERIC
kernels have this, I think), or turn it on with an appropriate sysctl.
