I did the same thing and it works fine also.  We are running SR10.2/BSD4.3
on DN3000s, 4000s, 3500 on Ethernet, a DN4500 on the Apollo ring.  Our name
servers are campus-wide.  I have noticed one problem.  I got an error,
"Network is unreachable" when I tried to ftp/telnet to localhost.  However,
when I moved the /etc/nmconfig-h hostend_bind line further down in the
/etc/rc.local file, say after the route commands, then localhost works fine.
I wonder if anyone else has a similar experience?
