Very well.

I just checked. It does this:

-----------------------------------------------------------
~]# cat /etc/hosts
# /etc/hosts
# Auto-generated file. Please put your customizations at the very end.

# Entries for localhost and primary IP address:
127.0.0.1                       localhost         localhost.localdomain
<primary-IP>                    <Hostname>                      <name>

# Entries for all Vsites on IPv4 IP addresses of this server:
<IP>                            <Vsite-FQDN>                    <Alias>
...
<IP>                            <Vsite-FQDN>                    <Alias>

# The following lines are desirable for IPv6 capable hosts
::1                             localhost ip6-localhost ip6-loopback
ff02::1                         ip6-allnodes
ff02::2                         ip6-allrouters

-----------------------------------------------------------

So it creates entries for localhost and the hostname, then entries for
each Vsite and their IPs and finally the IPv6 stuff.

That's how it should be. Isn't it?
