[SunRescue] hosts file And DNS files??

[Michael S. Schiller]

Hi All.

I've finally done something I've wanted to do for a long time. That is
write DNS files for my local network of 10 machines. Now the silly
question is this: Do I leave all the systems listed in the hosts file,
or now that DNS works properly for them do I delete all the systems
other than localhost and the actual machine's hostname? Is there any
advantage to either leaving all the entries in the /etc/hosts file as
they are, so that the DNS files and the hosts files would be redundant,
or would things work better if I deleted most of the systems out of the
/etc/hosts file? Thanks.

-Mike
