Please don't do this, '127.0.0.1' should only point to 'localhost'.

If your server gets its IP via DHCP (it shouldn't) you only need:

127.0.0.1	localhost

If it has a fixed IP (as it should) you need:

127.0.0.1	localhost
192.168.0.10	server.acme.tld	server

Where '192.168.0.10' is the ipaddress of the server and
'server.acme.tld' is the FQDN of the server
