OK. I got the idea.

But for my particular situation, Informix database running on UNIX.
What really matters in our HOSTS file are the IP Addresses. The name we put next to the IP could be anything. The point is to have the IP address of the PC's that have access to the application. What I am trying to say is, if the IP address is in the HOSTS file, doesn't matter the name I put next to that IP. This is the reason I came up with the question. Also, because I am NEW to UNIX. Anyway, thanks for the quick answers, now I know that each IP should be specified and a range is not possible. Although would be excellent for me to have that.

THANKS

hosts.conf

HOSTS.CONF(5)							    NUT Manual							     HOSTS.CONF(5)

NAME

       hosts.conf - Access control for Network UPS Tools CGI programs

DESCRIPTION

       The CGI programs (upsset.cgi(8), upsstats.cgi(8), upsimage.cgi(8)) use this file to determine if they are allowed to talk to a host. This
       keeps random visitors from using your web server to annoy others by creating outgoing connections.

DIRECTIVES

       MONITOR ups description
	   The ups element is in the form upsname[@hostname[:port]]. To allow connections to a UPS called "snoopy" on a system called "doghouse"
	   that runs upsd on port 7877, it would look like this:

	       MONITOR snoopy@doghouse:7877 "Joe Cool"

	   The description must be one element, so if it has spaces, then it must be wrapped with quotes as shown above. The default hostname is
	   "localhost".
