Leafnode - FQDN

In order to use Knode offline i installed leafnode to
run as newsserver.
Leafnode requires a Fully Qualified Domain Name for
my host, but i have a dynamic ppp connection.

I don't know what to do.
It's all right if i use my ip address as FQDN?

PS: I have a Debian "sarge"

In your /etc/hosts file add:

127.0.0.1 localhost

and use _localhost_ as FQDN for Usenet server name for Knode.

Hope that helps,

Cheers!
