<description>
<p><file>@pkgsysconfdir@/hosts</file> is a file which may be used
to define static host name to IP address mappings for multicast
DNS. This is especially useful when publishing DNS-SD services
on behalf of other hosts. See <manref name="avahi.service"
section="5"/> for more information.</p>
<p>The file format is similar to the one of
<file>/etc/hosts</file>: on each line an IP address and the
corresponding host name. The host names should be in FQDN form,
i.e. with appended .local suffix.</p>
