Right oh.  That works.

pe...@joule:~$ cat /etc/hosts | grep 172.23.3.1
172.23.3.1      joule.invalid   joule
pe...@joule:~$ host joule
joule has address 172.23.3.1
pe...@joule:~$ host joule.invalid
joule.invalid has address 172.23.3.1

But until about a month back that was unnecessary.
"host joule" would report the address which DHCP 
had assigned to the interface connected to the ISP.
Is this a new normal behaviour?  Is something broken?

In case anyone is interested.

A diagram is cited there.

Thanks,          ... Peter E.
