It is designed after a method used by Sun Microsystems in the C library of Solaris 2. The GNU C Library contains a cleaner solution of this problem. Traditionally, this was done by using files (e.g., /etc/passwd), but other nameservices (like the Network Information Service (NIS) and the Domain Name Service (DNS)) became popular, and were hacked into the C library, usually with a fixed search order (see frobnicate). Various functions in the C Library need to be configured to work correctly in the local environment. Not what you asked for, but also worth knowing about: The Hosts file is audited, security is safe. Of course, the refresh of DNS is executed at once. SwitchHosts allows you to manage and switch between multiple hosts file quickly and easily. As the license report is generated using from the same database the host names are consistent to the network documentation. The network documentation is generated from the same database as the configuration files, so it is consistent to the configuration. Having all information about a host in one place allows easier maintenance and ensures consistency. Adding or modifying a host requires consistent modifications in multiple places. etc/hosts, /etc/ethers, /etc/netgroup or the corresponding LDAP OUs). Host related information on Linux/Unix systems is maintained in several configuration files (i.e. The hostsadm program reads a MySQL database and creates several configuration, documentation files, and license reports. Currently, only root user can launch the program. Quickly switch host profiles and flush dns automatically. Host Profiles is a cross platofrm host file management tool. (does not work on ubuntu < 10.10 due to Qt 4.7 requirement) It was tested in Linux, Windows and Mac OS X. A small tool to manage and switch host config.
