Hi,
From the MAN page:
-----------------8<------------------------------------
Name Resolution (hosts)
If the personal hosts file exists, it is used to resolve IPv4
and IPv6 addresses before any other attempts are made to
resolve them. The file has the standard hosts file syntax;
each line contains one IP address and name, separated by
whitespace. The same directory as for the personal preferences
file is used.
-----------------8<------------------------------------
So this is very possible indeed :)
Thanx,
Jaap
