You need to add DNS name of each computer used in network Addresses configuration.
you can use localhost, machine name, or FQDN. This is because the certificate used in TLS is bound to machine name not IP.
If i set it to localhost, do i need to put some entries into the windows 'HOSTS' file?
I am unsure on using the standard DNS servers, as the SCADA WAN domain controllers (DNS) are 300km away via radio link.
Localhost is only applicable for the standalone system. For a distributed system, you must use the machine name or fully qualified domain name. You could use ping -a [IP address] to get the associated DNS name in command line.

If I lost that radio link to the DNS servers (happens every few years), do local machines cache these results?
