| | Yggdrasil allows you to easily set up a private virtual network based on IPv6. Your machines will then receive an IPv6 address such as 201:2af6:fcc4:30e7:b22d:15d6:a55d:10bb. However, that's not very fun to have to type, and it would be nicer to be able to refer to your machines by their hostnames, e.g. by doing ping apples and ping pears. I tried to do this in an intelligent way and failed, which led me to resort to setting up a local dnsmasq server to solve the problem. Still, I thought I'd write about my reasoning, since it could lead to a better solution in the future.
