Just to clarify why the hostname not resolving to an address was brought to my attention. Asterisk complains bitterly that it cannot resolve the hostname, but it still operates. I can see how some application may not work outright, or a future version of Asterisk may stop working as a result of this. However, if the hostname not resolving is not in violation of any RFCs, and is generally an acceptable policy, then you can call it nofix :).

I would set it to say 127.0.1.1 like Ubuntu sets it. Isn't that a reasonable solution? > Why should it? If you want /etc/hosts, use /etc/hosts. Well, just judging by the name of the tab (Hostnames), I thought you are basically adding hosts to /etc/hosts. What is the function of this tab then? If it is meant to name DHCP clients, isn't it made redundant by the static leases section of the DNS/DHCP section? Cheers!

[OpenWrt-Devel] hostname setting and network->hostnames are of no consequence
This is the last one for now! I hope I haven't been too annoying! :) 1) Setting the hostname of the router to anything does not actually add an entry to /etc/hosts. This is a problem if one expects the hostname to resolve to something, and on OpenWRT it does not resolve to anything at all! 2) Also adding entries to Network->Hostnames does not add entries to /etc/hosts either, the only consequence are entries in /etc/config/dhcp (which also seems a bit out of place, given that the hostname is not being added in the DHCP/DNS tab).
