127.0.1.1 in /etc/hosts and dnsmasq
Hi,
127.0.1.1 appeared again is a perpetual thread. I have another question,
so I decided to start a new thread.
unicorn:~$ grep unicorn /etc/hosts
127.0.1.1 unicorn.wooledge.org unicorn
This line makes various dnsmasq instances (they may be started by
lxc-net.service, for NetworkManager shared connections) giving 127.0.1.1
in response to queries.
Is it just a bug in dnsmasq that should filter out 127.x.y.z addresses
during reading of /etc/hosts or it is a reason to avoid 127.0.1.1 line?
My impression is that systemd-hostnamed(8) and hostnamectl(1) have been
created to address similar issues.
