Jesus, I can hardly blame anyone who is confused by the naming conventions there!
"files", oh so all the files get checked first, including "/etc/hosts" and "/etc/resolv.conf", right?
No, only "/etc/hosts".
Well why don't we just write it as "/etc/hosts"? Ok, whatever - next up is "myhostname"... wait, my hostname is already in the "/etc/hosts" file, why is it spelled out again?
No no, that refers to systemd's container support (don't ask).
OK... ah, here we go - "resolve", surely that refers to "/etc/resolv.conf".
Nope, that refers to "systemd-resolved".
Well then why didn't they call it that!?!
