Forgot to enclose the headers, but I fixed the problem by changing the
first two lines of my /etc/hosts as follows:

-127.0.0.1 localhost pereiro
-127.0.1.1 pereiro.peloton pereiro
+127.0.0.1 pereiro.luannocracy.com localhost
+127.0.1.1 pereiro.luannocracy.com pereiro

Not sure if what I did is exactly right, but it seemed to work.
