I don't think it matters. If you have DNS you shouldn't have the machines IP
mapping in the hosts file at all. Only localhost and convienence mappings for
other hosts. If you /don't/ have DNS then you probably just have one or two PCs in
your house in which case you should put whatever you need in there to just make it
work.

A program should be written to model the concepts of the task it
performs rather than the physical world or a process because this
maximizes the potential for it to be applied to tasks that are
conceptually similar and, more important, to tasks that have not
yet been conceived.
