It's overkill to use either in most circumstances.

I would make it:

127.0.0.1 mick.fleamarket.nl    mick  localhost 
192.168.0.1 mick.fleamarket.nl  mick
192.168.0.2 mack.fleamarket.nl  mack

and:

127.0.0.1 mack.fleamarket.nl    mack  localhost 
192.168.0.1 mick.fleamarket.nl  mick
192.168.0.2 mack.fleamarket.nl  mack

He does if he used pppconfig, but he may also have a default route to the
