Doesn't this presume the use of dnsmasq on the router? What if one isn't using dnsmasq? I surely don't. I think this use-case illustrates why the right solution is probably to generate the hosts file in /tmp and point to it with a symlink in /etc/. Perhaps there should be an /etc/hosts.base that is used in the generation for one that wants to have static entries in a /etc/hosts file. > > An alternative is for /etc/hosts to be generated in /tmp and symlinked > > to /etc ... Indeed. > We done that for LuCI but it seems to confuse/annoy users... Hrm. If one understands the working environment of an embedded device like a router, why is one confused? IOW, if one is confused by this, then one should likely not be mucking around in configuration files and one should likely stick to configuration interfaces provided for the less initiated. b.
