That would seem adequate for understanding the short, local names.
But it's not what I want. I don't actually really need the short
local names, and I'm quite willing to give them up.
What I don't want is for it to concatenate '.topoi.pooq.com' onto
*other* names.
Unless I'm missing something important, it doesn't seem that /etc/hosts
is relevant to this.

For the record, this is my /etc/hosts file:
127.0.0.1 localhost
127.0.1.1 notlookedfor.topoi.pooq.com notlookedfor
# The following lines are desirable for IPv6 capable hosts
::1 ip6-localhost ip6-loopback
fe00::0 ip6-localnet
ff00::0 ip6-mcastprefix
ff02::1 ip6-allnodes
ff02::2 ip6-allrouters
