Re: [LI] (Repost) DNS : Logical query

/etc/hosts is sufficient in a small network. What do you do when you have 1000
plus hetrogenous machines in your network. One has to opt for either DNS or DHCP
in this case.

The order in the host.conf file is just for the machine on which you are working
to know the order in which it should resolve hostnames and not related with DNS
server configuration at all.

Regarding the local private addresses, /etc/hosts is sufficient.

May be I haven't understood your question: When you have a registered
domain, why do you want to intermingle with the private addresses.

By specifying the order in the /etc/host.conf.
