Before going any further, I'd like to clarify something. My router always gives me the *same* hostname (rfc1918.space.should.not.be.used.on.publicips). And after I have added it in /etc/hosts, it works forever without needing to tweak anything. My problem was: why do I need to add it to /etc/hosts the first time ? Isn't it possible to make my system aware of the new hostname automatically (by adding it automatically to /etc/hosts after the first connection) ? Sorry if I confused you.
