How do I look up names in the hosts file? If I do a "host laptop" it
returns the external DNS address, rather than the IP in /etc/hosts.
Setting the no-recursion flag (-r) doesn't do any good, either.
On the other hand, it's *working*, because a ping will use the correct
internal address. I'm just looking for the appropriate lookup tool.
