This has already affected my willingness to help people having trouble 
with network-mangler.

For folks with a small SOHO network setup that involves the maximum of 
253 or so maximum addresses, the most dependable intermachine method is 
identical /etc/hosts files, combined with an identical /etc/resolv.conf 
on all machines.  You then setup an eth0 stanza 
in /etc/network/interfaces that matches the name assigned to that 
machine. Interfaces will look something like this:
=============
auto lo

# The loopback network interface
iface lo inet loopback
address 127.0.0.1
netmask 255.255.255.0

auto eth0

# regular network for coyote.den
iface eth0 inet static
address 192.168.xx.xx
netmask 255.255.255.0
gateway 192.168.xx.xx
=================

Substituting that machines address in place of the xx.xx
Shut down dhcpd as its not needed, nor is network-mangler.

And the best part? It Just Works(TM).

But I've caught so much static over preaching about a non-network-mangler 
solution that is 90% less trouble to setup that I have given up speaking 
up when to me that solution is the ideal solution to their problems.

So you can ignore me, and I'll ignore you, until you contradict me, 
thereby adding to the poor OP's confusion.  Where your expertise exceeds 
mine, I'll do the same.  Fair?
