Well, yes, tmdns is supposed to claim `hostname`.local, so that when you
do the equivalent of 'getent hosts `hostname`', that even if you don't
have ddns, that you get a reply (and not a timeout).

This isn't the problem. The problem is that your hostname isn't set to
Pelles, if it were, there would be no need to have Pelles in
/etc/tmdns.conf.

This is covered in one of the drakconnect bugs, but it seems that Damien
hasn't realised that setting tmdns up for a particular name is useless
if there is actually no host with the hostname.
