[Dnsmasq-discuss] /etc/hosts query

Not a problem, just a query, /etc/hosts on my dnsmasq server looked
something like this:

127.0.0.1     localhost Shuttle
192.168.1.4   Shuttle shuttle

When a client queried 'Shuttle' dnsmasq returned 127.0.0.1.

I've changed the hosts file:

127.0.0.1       localhost
192.168.1.4    Shuttle shuttle

and now it works as expected (returns 192.168.1.4)

Was my hosts file wrong or have I missed something in the config? It
seems to me that a response of 127.0.0.1 is always going to be wrong.

Cheers
Steve
