Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: network-manager
I develop several web sites on my laptop, and each one is a different
virtual host through Apache. Until Lucid, I was able to alias these
hosts in /etc/hosts, like this
127.0.0.1 localhost localhost.localdomain myhost1.localdomain
myhost2.localdomain myhost3.localdomain
Starting with Maverick, however, NetworkManager overwrites the 127.0.0.1
line every time it initiates a new network connection, so these aliases
are lost. It is fair to argue that aliasing 127.0.0.1 isn't ideal, but
as far as I can find, NetworkManager doesn't offer any alternative for
aliasing the bound IP address. For example, if I connect to WiFi, it
adds a line like
192.168.0.101 snape
There seems to be no way to get it to do
192.168.0.101 snape myhost1.localdomain myhost2.localdomain
myhost3.localdomain
NetworkManager should not overwrite the 127.0.0.1 line in /etc/hosts
until there is an alternative method available for aliasing on the local
machine, without setting up an entire local DNS server.
