"As built" ubuntu puts "isbd" in the /etc/hosts file as follows:-

So I would say change 127.0.0.1 to be localhost, and then set 192.168.1.4 as isbd (does that stand for anything?).
I already have a "127.0.0.1 localhost" line, the 127.0.1.1 line gets added by ubuntu installation I think when you tell it the machine name is "isbd".
Yes, "isbd" does stand for something, "it shouldn't be difficult". :-)
However I need dnsmasq to tell other machines on the LAN that "isbd" is 192.168.1.4. Do I just remove the above line and add:-
192.168.1.4 isbdIs the "127.0.1.1 isbd" only necessary when isbd's address is obtained using DHCP and thus not fixed so it needs to point at localhost?
See above. Though I don't know for sure, and leave someone else to answer.
Yes, OK.
