Shameless Bump -- I'm still interested in understanding the logic
behind the choice in the Gentoo Handbook.
Additional information.
The Samba Wiki states the following in the Preparing the Installation
section of the Setting up Samba as an Active Directory Domain Controller
document.
"The host name and FQDN must not resolve to the 127.0.0.1 IP address or
any other IP address than the one used on the LAN interface of the DC."
