My /etc/hosts:

127.0.0.1             localhost
192.168.178.20    localhost testserver

# The following lines are desirable for IPv6 capable hosts
::1     ip6-localhost ip6-loopback
fe00::0 ip6-localnet
ff00::0 ip6-mcastprefix
ff02::1 ip6-allnodes
ff02::2 ip6-allrouters
ff02::3 ip6-allhosts


That looks good to me. Did you mean it like that?
