Sure! Change the order that your machine checks the names....
set it to check files first, then dns. You should be able
to do this in a number of places, including Linuxconf.

Sorry to come in late to this exchange...
I ave no DNS installed on my machine. However, I am running an internal
network 0n 192.168.68.x...
These machines need to have names, so I chose names I new were unused on my
ISP's network - thus, ny internal machines are [EMAIL PROTECTED]
So, since I don't have DNS, these names aren't properly resolved...
I have them in my hosts file, but my logs are full of:
blah, blah gethostbyname(machinename): host not found.
Otherwise, things seem to be working. However, I'd like to get rid of this
garbage so my logs are a little easier to read.
Any suggestions?
