What is the rationale for the /etc/hosts entry for 127.0.1.1?
You can start with
https://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2013/07/msg00809.html
and then work backwards in time.
It tends to be annoying when using dnsmasq as a server for static hosts.
You'll have to be more specific.
Nothing major. Just that every so often when trying to reach a host
being used as a DNS server with dnsmasq, I get hit with that address.
It's just an annoyance and I was trying to understand the purpose of
that assignment.
I've read through some of that thread you pointed to and to be honest,
it's not at all clear what problem was being solved. I'm still not
entirely convinced it's useful. But it's easily dealt with so... :-)
