Is it possible to keep a network alias - without specifying the IP address in the hosts file? For instance, I have abcd.efgh.com
but want abcd -> abcd.efgh.com
so that ping
and ssh
work as they normally would.
I want it to work with dynamic IP on abcd.efgh.com, that's why I don't want to state the IP address explicitly.
Excellent; I can do without ping now that I think of it, 99.9 % of my use is ssh. – Jonas Byström – 2010-05-28T12:08:16.280
