    I have edited /etc/resolvconf/resolv.conf.d/base and added entries like:

    mylocalserver 10.2.6.33

    upon restart I can see it is in the resolv.conf file, however if I try to check if it works by opening up a terminal and entering

    ping mylocalserver

    I get "unknown host" messages.

    This is a closed network with local servers and no DNS, so I have to hand map the server to ip address.

    Is this the correct format for the entries? I have a TAB as whitespace separator.

    You might want to look at '/etc/hosts' instead

    Hints can be found in output of 'man hosts'

    Many client programs add .localdomain to the hostname if it
    is a simple name.

    Add the line

    10.2.6.33 mylocalserver mylocalserver.localdomain

    to /etc/hosts and try again.
