Hi.

About routers:
Have I understood right: If for example oops moves for different
network and it gets new IP-address, I don't need every oops'
ip-address in routers /etc/hosts -file and only first one is needed?

Like when for example oops' IP-address is in startup 3ffe::4 and
crashs 2ffe::1, router who is between oops and crash needs in
/etc/hosts -file:
127.0.0.1  localhost.localdomain   localhost
2ffe::1      oops.something.fi      oops
3ffe::4      crash.something.fi     crash

And also in oops' and/or hosts /etc/hosts -file only first (other
HIP-machines) IP-address needed?

Am I talking nonsense?
