This just reminded me of something, I've always wondered is why you
can't have a "hosts" file in your home directory that takes priority
over /etc/hosts.
On my laptop I have a number of entries in /etc/hosts and every dam time
I rebuild my laptop I forget to take a current backup and I have to
rebuild it.
/home is on a separate partition so I wouldn't loose it on a rebuild.
Any suggestions on alternative ways to solve this?
