"dig" wrinkle, I think you found that. > > 2.

Why? That's not what the doc says, (though I'll admit the doc is not clear, it says that it makes names in /etc/hosts work the same way as DHCP derived names, which is to match <name> and <name>.<domain>.) It's not clear to me that the current behaviour is wrong, and certainly not clear that it's wrong enough to break all the existing installations which may rely on it. I'm open to arguments to the contrary. You can get the behaviour you want by using domains in /etc/hosts. > > 3. dnmasq responds to lookups of unqualified cnames: > $ dig myalias @localost > (which it shouldn't, IMO), but not to > $ dig myalias.mydomain @localhost > which it should, because I'm using expand-hosts.

This could probably be changed without too much grief.
