[gentoo-user] Automatic host switching

[Momesso Andrea]

My home server is 192.168.1.5 in my home wan, the hostname of the machine 
is "fandango", and the the /etc/hosts in my laptop looks like this:

[...]
192.168.1.5             fandango

Sometimes I need to connect to the server while I'm far from home, so the 
server has also a dyndns address, let's say "fandango.dyndns.org".

When I connect from outside my wan I use "fandango.dyndns.org", when I'm at 
home just "fandango".

Is there a way to tell my laptop to always use "fandango" and, 
if "192.168.1.5" is available, to resolve it this way, otherwise to resolve 
it as "fandango.dyndns.org".

This way I will avoid double configurations, double password stored in 
firefox, ecc...

Any ideas?
