This is what I did set it to after reading everything I could find (I have 
become very poor at searching these days). that setup resulted in tripled 
ping times on all local boxen and a complete inability to resolve external 
addresses from the debian box.

In case its relevant these are the settings that I use on all boxen on the 
lan:
---------
 /etc/hosts
127.0.0.1	localhost.localdomain localhost
192.168.1.1	ipcop #ipcop gateway
192.168.1.100	cave  #fedora 1
192.168.1.101   nutz  #NT4
192.168.1.102   knop  #knoppix 3.6
192.168.1.103   debi   #debian sarge
------
/etc/host.conf
order hosts,bind
------
/etc/resolv.conf
nameserver 192.168.1.1
------

I really can't think of where to go next the settings work on all the other 
boxen
