lisi, 

hopefully this is to the list and not private.

for your home network -

/etc/hosts
add the ipaddress followed by the hostname

i.e.
127.0.0.1       localhost
127.0.1.1       hestia

192.168.122.10  testing
192.168.122.11  stable
192.168.122.12  one-i386

that will make ssh user@hostname work instead of user@ipaddress.  also works 
with scp and sftp

take care
