It can be very handy for segregating SSH and webshost traffic separately from localhost traffic.

Suffice to say, changing it didn't fix the issue..... the problem I have is that the Windows team who run the domain won't help with anything, and tend to lock things down without telling anyone... so I figured it would be easy to simply re-design my scripts to use a local lookup table rather than refer to AD.
