I agree. I have a home network of at least 5 machines. With other
machines, it can be up to 8 or 10. I used to have the configurations in
/etc/hosts files, but since switching to dnsmasq (yup, you need the
dnsmasq machine up all the time, as I do since I am also running some
servers), it have found it to be easiest method because I have realized
I need some flexibility. Others' MMV.
