Instead of listing the machine's name with 127.0.1.1 I'm using it's actual IP (like the one you have in the comment). Any potential issues I should be aware of? As far as I can tell (with my limited understanding of DNS) it only makes it easier to share /etc/hosts with no obvious downside. Kind regards, Andrei -- http://wiki.debian.org/FAQsFromDebianUser
