Ah-ha. Your server feels/thinks it is valhalla.org
This means you need to define in your "hosts" file on "winlin"
192.168.1.40 valhalla.org valhalla
But this will make it so you cannot get to the "real" valhalla.org,
which is really not a problem, as it is in parking at the moment.

I believe, you either need to fix your server (which ATM doesn't matter
with valhalla.org period) or just do the /etc/hosts entry.
You might also want to give your server an entry like:
192.168.1.29 winlin
I believe we have solved your problem.
