Hi,

I'm after some advice.

Scenario is as follow. Configuring a system to be a zone master. I can 
configure some of the hosts in /etc/hosts file or even have them in DNS file.

What are the advantages and disadvantages of using local hosts file vs DNS 
file and vice versa.

Any assistance will be very much appreciated.

Thank you very much in advance.
