Basic-starting Apache Webserver Question

[Lynette Tillner]

I've set up a test server in-house using FreeBSD 4.10.  Now I'm trying to start the apache web services and get the following error whenever I try to start apache: 

[Tue Oct 12 12:16:15 2004] [alert] mod_unique_id: unable to gethostbyname("avs-2.com")

and the server can't start. 

This is an in house test server only, but I don't want to use "localhost" or 127.0.0.1 because two of us use that on our Windows PC's to test on Windows web server.  

How can I fix this?  I'm not finding what I need to change in the httpd.conf file -- or do I need to set up some sort of fake DNS to see this on my network? 

Thanks for your help!
