Bash: lookup an IP for a host name, including /etc/hosts in search

Ubuntu 10.10+

In my script I need to lookup an IP for a given host name.

If that name is listed in /etc/hosts, then command should print IP from /etc/hosts, not from DNS server.

What commands I tried (nslookup, dig, host), completely ignore /etc/hosts — at least for names that are not known to the DNS server.

Note: I would prefer…

How does localhost 127.0.0.1 work?

I found some articles related to this, but they were not sufficient for me. I want to know how the localhost works and why is it the same on many different machines?

How does the localhost block the access to the website when we use it in the host file to block the website?

/etc/hosts getting reset in Lion

In order to do web development on my local machine, I use the /etc/hosts file to define hosts that point back to 127.0.0.1 to which I have Apache serve up via VirtualHosts. This works great, except that now it seems that Lion resets my /etc/hosts file every so often.

Has anyone else experienced this? Is there any way to keep this from happening?

I never had this…

How do I add IPv6 address into System32\drivers\etc\hosts?

There is already by default, and it works (Win 7):

::1 localhost

This also works (testing with ping):

::1 hosta

But when I’m trying to add something non-loopback, it doesn’t resolve:

fe80::215:afff:fec6:ea64 realhost

So that I can do:

C:>ping fe80::215:afff:fec6:ea64 Reply from fe80::215:afff:fec6:ea64: time=2ms

Point Multiple IP Addresses to a Single Host Name

In Windows System, there is this file at C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc\hosts. This file allows us to default a specific IP address to a host name.

The issue now is whether I can set multiple IP addresses to a host name. For example, can I do something like this:

192.168.244.128 gateway.net 192.168.226.129 gateway.net

And expect that the…
