Instead add a new line with your NIC's IP address pointing to your
FQDN, followed by the hostname. e.g:
192.168.1.4 geidiprime.servebeer.com geidiprime
The FQDN must agree exactly with the host name as shown in
/etc/sysconfig/network. The OP's list of his /etc/hosts showed that it
was different: "servebeer.com geidiprime localhost". So
"servebeer.com", "geidiprime", or "localhost" should have worked, but
not geidiprime.servebeer.com, which is what he tried.

It works sufficiently so far. I'm curious about your mention of NIC's and
IP addresses. In my situation I connect to a cable modem. However, that
connection is wireless/wi-fi (802.11b router, 802.11g adapter). The
adapter is an Asus WL-330g which connects into the RJ-45 type ethernet
adapter. As far as linux is concerned, the connection looks like a wired
connection. Of course, the router uses DHCP. So, the IP address for the
NIC will move, being dynamic. The eth0 NIC has dhcp enabled.
here's what I have:
[thufir@arrakis ~]$
[thufir@arrakis ~]$ hostname
arrakis.homelinux.org
[thufir@arrakis ~]$ cat /etc/sysconfig/network
NETWORKING=yes
HOSTNAME=arrakis.homelinux.org
[thufir@arrakis ~]$ cat /etc/hosts
# Do not remove the following line, or various programs
# that require network functionality will fail.
127.0.0.1 arrakis.homelinux.org localhost
