[Dnsmasq-discuss] question about the host-record= example

[Olaf Hering]

I have several host-record=$name,$name.$domain,$ip4,$ip6 lines in my
dnsmasq 2.62 conf file. Today I realized that "host $ip4" resolves to
just "${name}.", but I was expecting "${name}.${domain}.". So I removed
the "$name," part and get now the full name.

I wonder why the example in the host-record= lists both?
When is laptop used, and when is laptop.thekellys.org used?
