Comment (by eric):

 Adding entries to /etc/hosts file is really for the local machine. It
 helps fix startup chicken and egg before DNS can be connected and
 resolved. It really should only have allias's for 'localhost' and
 'multicast.'

 The file /tmp/hosts/dhcp is generated in /etc/init.d/dnsmasq but I am
 unsure how to robustly push the IP6 host name out there. This should be
 easy for someone who knows what they did with init.d scripts. (Seriously,
 does no one put comments in this stuff.)
