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? > I don't recall your network topology In case anyone is interested. http://carnot.yi.org/NetworksPage.html A diagram is cited there. Thanks, ...
