I have a couple of systems on my home LAN which have long, not very
useful, names, e.g.:-

    DESKTOP-978VD5M - An MS Windows machine
    MC342-AE529C - An OKI printer

I have added cname entries as follows in my dnsmasq.conf :-

    cname=ben,DESKTOP-978VD5M
    cname=oki,MC342-AE529C

So I can refer to them as 'ben' and 'oki'.

However it would be even better if the names 'ben' and 'oki' were
returned when I use 'host', 'arp-scan' or similar commands.  Is there
a way of getting dnsmasq to do this (preferably without losing the
ability to use the long, unmemorable, names as well)?
