 If you want to give the container a name in DNS *other* than its
 hostname, you can register it using the `dns-add` command. For example:

-$ docker start $shell2
-$ weave dns-add 10.2.1.27 $shell2 -h shell2.example.org
+$ shell2=(weave run 10.2.1.27/24 -ti ubuntu)
+$ weave dns-add 10.2.1.28 $shell2 -h pingme2.weave.local
 ```

 The inverse operation can be carried out using the `dns-remove` command:
