[Bug 1201873] [NEW] dnsmasq does not use -h, so /etc/hosts sends folks to loopback when they look up the machine it's running on

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

You have been subscribed to a public bug:

 from dnsmasq(8):

      -h, --no-hosts
              Don't read the hostnames in /etc/hosts.


I reliably get bit by this during certain kinds of deployments, where my nova-network/dns host has an entry in /etc/hosts such as:

127.0.1.1    hostname.example.com hostname

I keep having to edit /etc/hosts on that machine to use a real IP,
because juju gets really confused when it looks up certain openstack
hostnames and gets sent to its own instance!
