notes on rebooting and IP numbers

NOTE: It's amazing how I can look back at articles such as this and realize just how much newbies don't know. This is a very good example. At some time, you didn't know the following information either. After some experience, we just take it for granted.
This is a vital point to remember when you are helping others. Don't assume much.

The person that helped me out with the
name resolution problem
also took the time to explain a few points about rebooting.  These comments were based upon my previous
"dns" problems
.  I've included them here because they make for good novice-reading.
rebooting
There isn't much need to reboot a Unix box.  Most daemons provide some mechanism for restarting themselves.  For example "kill -hup ".
In theory, you should never have to reboot unless you've had a power failure or have installed a new kernel or a major upgrade of the whole system.  Some daemens come with a helper tool.  For example, named, comes with ndc which will send these SIGHUP signals for you.
IP numbers
IP numbers are assigned to network interfaces, not computers.  If a computer has two network cards, each network card will have a different address.  The same computer can be known by more than one IP and be connected to more than one sub-net.
This is a mistake I made.  And it's been pointed out to me at least three times.
