31      <p><file>@pkgsysconfdir@/hosts</file> is a file which may be used
32      to define static host name to IP address mappings for multicast
33      DNS. This is especially useful when publishing DNS-SD services
34      on behalf of other hosts. See <manref name="avahi.service"
35      section="5"/> for more information.</p>
36
37      <p>The file format is similar to the one of
38      <file>/etc/hosts</file>: on each line an IP address and the
39      corresponding host name. The host names should be in FQDN form,
40      i.e. with appended .local suffix.</p>
