+# This file contains addresses and aliases for local hosts whose names
+# need to be resolvable during system boot; typically this includes only
+# the address and FQDN for this machine's hostname.
 #
+# By default this file is consulted before DNS, so adding additional
+# material here that then becomes out of date can lead to confusion.
