Hi Bruno,

Thanks for the clarification!

Or when you want to provide extra aliases for localhost?

Like this?

  (essential-services
   (modify-services
       (operating-system-default-essential-services this-operating-system)
     (hosts-service-type config =>
                         (list (host "127.0.0.1" "localhost" (list host-name 
"foo" "bar"))
                               (host "::1"       "localhost" (list host-name 
"foo" "bar"))))))

Cheers,
Remco
