That's a case for when you would put a hostname into a hosts file, though not into the 127.0.0.1 line. And it's only going to be helpful when the machine keeps being given the same address. Though you'd have a similar problem with local DNS servers on each machine. Though, when disconnected, does the machine need to think of itself with the same name? -- [tim@localhost ~]$ uname -r 2.6.27.25-78.2.56.fc9.i686 Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored.
