I went to a locally defined hosts file 30+ years ago for all my private resolutions, and it Just Works. Queries that go out on the wire for resolution are relayed to the dns services of my provider. Resolution times for external sites are sub 100 millisecond as a general rule. Thats ALL handled by my router running dd-wrt which I think is using dnsmasq.
Yet every time I promote such a structure as a solution to someones local network problems I am the idiot according to you for not using dhcp globally. I don't enjoy being painted as an a-hole for using something that Just Works. So I've quit unless you or someone like you pulls my chain. > For a Debian system, the path of inquiry is still the same as before > -- /etc/network/interfaces and then Network Manager, for the vast > majority of systems. For the "vast majority of system's", as I install them, the first thing I have to do is uninstall that stuff as it has yet in the last 5 years, to use anything in the routing table but the avahi supplied 169.xx.cc.nn address which is not allowed off the premises by dd-wrt. I have repeatedly said I'll use what works, and NM/Avahi hasn't yet in all the years it has existed. > Raspbian is of course a separate distribution, and you'd have to ask a > Raspbian mailing list if your issue is with something of theirs. I will, just as soon as one is instigated. All they have is a forum with a broken search engine, if you actually find an answer, its the result of reading half the msgs ever posted to that forum. Fortunately I read at a good clip. Thats how I got to be a C.E.T., and a very well paid broadcast engineer/Chief Operator on an 8th grade education. I got that way the hard way, I never asked for a raise, I just got them. Cheers, Gene Heskett -- "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
