Where is the line with 127.0.1.1? Debian always provides that.

True, but I've never seen a description of what that does or what its for.

I've seen expert explanations of why it is there.

So I've removed it from every machine here because its out of scope for
127.0.0.1.

An interesting technique when something does not fit with preconceived
notions. Linits Debian's network setup but makes for a happyuser. Unti...

to quote from your own doc on this:
at section 5.1.1:

For a system with a permanent IP address, that permanent IP address should be used here instead of 127.0.1.1.

Also the next line but doesn't quite fit:

For a system with a permanent IP address and a fully qualified domain name (FQDN) provided by the Domain Name System (DNS), that canonical host_name.domain_name should be used instead of just host_name.

but the only dns server is my ISP. dns queries are pointed at the router, which if dnsmasq in the router does not have it cached, asks my isp's server. I have no clue what address that may be, all I care about is the response time which is typically in the 30 millisecond territory.

Which is precisely what I am doing, Its a small local network hidden behind dd-wrt and ALL machines have a unique permanent address, and a hostname in /etc/hostname w/o a local dns service running anyplace.

This thread is finished.
