Yeah, you're 100% correct. I just used IP address at first to avoid problems with unreliable name servers and whatnot: I didn't want to have to debug people's setups while debugging the server.

But now that the server is working well, I can safely switch over to using the Host: field, falling back to IP address if Host: is not set (like when I use "telnet xxxx 80" to test the server).
