Not on Ubuntu it isn't ;-)
I'd argue that Ubuntu just has incorrect behaviour then.

If you look at man hosts on an ubuntu machine (13.10), you'll see
how they describe it, and the example they provide.  The format
described is:

IP_address canonical_hostname [aliases...]

The example is:

127.0.0.1     localhost 192.168.1.10  foo.mydomain.org    foo
192.168.1.13  bar.mydomain.org    bar

That's the correct format, whether or not Ubuntu applies it.
Thats all very well for a machine with a fixed ip but what about
DHCP ?

Well, once they adopt systemd, they'll get to start using
hosts: files dns myhostname

OK, 'files dns' I understand but 'myhostname' ? I think that means that DHCP will store the machines identity in a file somewhere, is this correct and if so where ?

Rowland

This properly populates gethostby*() with the appropriate values from
DHCP.
