Correct. Typo in anonymizing it.

On a related question, it is necessary to manually enter PTR records
so that the hostname of a server (ie machine1) can be resolved to
an IP address or does it typically happen automagically based on
the hosts/hostname/resolv files?

I don't remember adding any PTR records originally when I set thing
up, but it was the only way I could get the 32bit server to resolve 
properly.
