dnsmasq uses this database on my home router
Hmm - this only works if "-Z" or "read-ethers" is explicitly set - as I have
just discovered the hard way - and and will not work when multiple ether addresses are assigned to
the same IP address:
dnsmasq-dhcp[965176]: ignoring /etc/ethers line 27, duplicate name or IP
address
Instead, "dhcp-host=..." still has to be used to allow multiple ether addresses
to be assigned to the same IP address.
Also, /etc/ethers does not accept IPv6 addresses, and, even when using the hostname
instead, the ether address will not associate with an IPv6 address in /etc/hosts. Again,
"dhcp-host=..." still has to be used for DHCPv6.
Interesting, but too finicky.
