Perhaps you should set up DNS (forward and reverse) for your internal network so that all machines have fully-qualified hostnames and you don't need the hosts file entries at all?
Yes it could be a solution but i don't know how to do it. I have a dynamic address so i think i can't do it. Could you tell me where i can find docs about this? about named or whatever.
Well your "external" address may be dynamic but your LAN addresses aren't, are they? If so, you can set up a DNS server for your LAN quite easily.
You already appear to have named running since your resolv.conf has 127.0.0.1 in it - isn't that so?
See http://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-list/2004-September/msg03121.html for an example of how you could set up named to serve forward and reverse DNS for your LAN, and do recursive lookups for other domains.
