** Description changed: Binary package hint: network-manager + + --- + WORKAROUND: + You can use aliases against another loopback address in the 127.x.y.z range, such as 127.1.1.z. Addresses within 127.0.y.z are rewritten by NM. + --- I develop several web sites on my laptop, and each one is a different virtual host through Apache. Until Lucid, I was able to alias these hosts in /etc/hosts, like this - 127.0.0.1 localhost localhost.localdomain myhost1.localdomain + 127.0.0.1 localhost localhost.localdomain myhost1.localdomain myhost2.localdomain myhost3.localdomain Starting with Maverick, however, NetworkManager overwrites the 127.0.0.1 line every time it initiates a new network connection, so these aliases are lost. It is fair to argue that aliasing 127.0.0.1 isn't ideal, but as far as I can find, NetworkManager doesn't offer any alternative for aliasing the bound IP address. For example, if I connect to WiFi, it adds a line like - 192.168.0.101 snape + 192.168.0.101 snape There seems to be no way to get it to do - 192.168.0.101 snape myhost1.localdomain myhost2.localdomain + 192.168.0.101 snape myhost1.localdomain myhost2.localdomain myhost3.localdomain NetworkManager should not overwrite the 127.0.0.1 line in /etc/hosts until there is an alternative method available for aliasing on the local machine, without setting up an entire local DNS server.
