While it can be your IP address, please note that Condor requires that DNS 
is working and that it can resolve IP addresses to names and vice-versa. 
Given that DNS is required, you might as well use the name instead of the 
IP address.

Replace /usr/local/condor with wherever you installed Condor. But first, 
check your condor_config.local to see if RELEASE_DIR was overridden. The 
installation process normally sets this up correctly.

Have you read what the manual says about it?

http://www.cs.wisc.edu/condor/manual/v6.6/3_3Configuration.html#SECTION00432000000000000000

Also, check to see if your condor_config.local file overrides this. The 
installation process normally sets this up correctly.

If it was filled in with your.domain, then you don't have DNS set up 
correctly.

Read this part of the manual for more information about UID_DOMAIN and 
FILESYSTEM_DOMAIN:
