Josh, the first problem I have with that solution is that it is 2 years and 4 ubuntu releases ago. But a good explanation of the issues is buried in https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/serverguide/C/network-configuration.html The section I refer to says: > Name Service Switch Configuration > > The order in which your system selects a method of resolving hostnames to > IP addresses is controlled by the Name Service Switch (NSS) configuration > file /etc/nsswitch.conf. As mentioned in the previous section, typically > static hostnames defined in the systems /etc/hosts file have precedence > over names resolved from DNS. The following is an example of the line > responsible for this order of hostname lookups in the file > /etc/nsswitch.conf. > > hosts: files mdns4_minimal [NOTFOUND=return] dns mdns4 > > > - > > *files* first tries to resolve static hostnames located in /etc/hosts. > - > > *mdns4_minimal* attempts to resolve the name using Multicast DNS. > - > > *[NOTFOUND=return]* means that any response of notfound by the > preceeding mdns4_minimal process should be treated as authoritative and > that the system should not try to continue hunting for an answer. > - > > *dns* represents a legacy unicast DNS query. > - > > *mdns4* represents a Multicast DNS query. > > To modify the order of the above mentioned name resolution methods, you > can simply change the hosts: string to the value of your choosing.
