Full Discussion: range in hosts file
Operating Systems AIX range in hosts file Post 302266903 by bakunin on Thursday 11th of December 2008 09:41:17 AM

/etc/hosts is a file which lists hostnames associated with IP-adresses. Its kind of a "telephone directory for IP adresses". I don't understand how adding a "range" would further the function of this list. It would be like adding a "range" of telephone numbers to the telephone directory: if there are no names associated with these the information gain would be zilch.

Or am i completely misunderstanding you?

I hope this helps.
