What happened?

I configure addresses in /etc/hosts.
When I place a hostname in there (not an IP address), it works, but does not save the config upon restart.

However, if I use the IP address, it does save.

Version

From Git HEAD or commit (specify below)

Git commit hash (if applicable)

gac5a1bfd

### Any other information

Aside from config, seems fine.

Does not seem related to #546
