I wonder what will be the effect if I have two entries in the /etc/hosts file for the same machine?

Is this kosher?

If it works, it works but it would probably be more correct (according to my reading of the manpage) to do thsi: 192.168.1.9 johaness.blanco.org johannes geeklog geeklog.net That is this: IP CANONICAL_NAME ALIASES Regards -- Fraser Campbell <fraser-Txk5XLRqZ6CsTnJN9+BGXg at public.gmane.org> http://www.wehave.net/ Halton Hills, Ontario, Canada Debian GNU/Linux -- The Toronto Linux Users Group.
