Thanks, and yes, /etc/hosts is what I have been juggling until now but
even though the network is "überschaubar" (small) it is volatile. 
After reboots of the router the printer/scanner, nas all get new
IPs/DHCP leases and editing /etc/hosts is becoming cumbersome.

NetworkManager is the default... I assume that the defaults is what is
the most stable.  If it is not, there should be a process to exchange
the default.  I'd really like to avoid straying from what most people
use.  But I don't really believe that this is a NetworkManager issue. 
Do me it seems to be a ZTE router, which I don't control, or hopefully
a dnsmasq configuration issue, which I do control.

Thanks!
David
