one host only

Keep in mind that these names will only work on the machine where you enter them (unless it is a NetInfo Server for a network). This is roughly equivalent to the UNIX /etc/hosts file, which is what everyone used until the net got too big and someone invented DNS.

On a small network it's not a big deal to enter things on individual machines, but if you have more than three or so you should consider installing a DNS server.
