Personally I prefer to go by IP rather then host. I have more the one internal
and more then one external network including hosting external DNS. For my
internal networks my machines sometimes have more the one or two interfaces
and I rely on different services for each of them depending on what they serv
to which networks. I dont want to run an internal DNS server just for a few
private networks or have to maintain 11-12 different host files just because
some services require a resolvable hostname. This would over complicate some
of my Ldap and proxy arp configurations as well. IP's are easier to manage for
something like IMO
