I hadn't thought of that -- the program said it couldn't ping a FQDN. I
assumed it was using the IP, but I can see how that might be a much better
solution. I'll give it a try. Thanks.

I tried several different installs, including the factory recommendation.
I thought it was easier too, but I wanted the Debian update process behind
it. And I think your 'hosts' trick will make it more secure -- there's nobody
responding to the IP given out by DNS. Not on the DMZ, anyway...
