Looks like I prob. won't have a choice afterall. But was originally
thinking that it would neater and easier to read by have FQDN in teh hosts.*
file. Plus, it also means I only need to update things in one place (DNS)
if/when my server changes IPs.... Like this I would need to update DNS and
remember to update my hosts.* files....
if you can't find the solution, then use a single file to update both
dns and hosts.* files.
the benefit is that in case of a dns misconfiguration or vulnerability,
you don't run the risk of opening access to your tftpd.
