We have a LAN/WAN with over 5000 nodes and I haven't yet seen a situation where DNS couldn't be used in preference to "/etc/hosts". The only times I can think of we've used it are for temporary hacks and bootstraps. Can you give an exact example of where you need hosts? -

The answer is if you've got multiple hosts and nets you should be using DNS. It isn't *that* complicated to set up (especially if you buy the O'Reilly DNS book) and you won't regret the extra effort afterwords. In the amount of time it took to write the message you could have set your DNS up and c
