Don't rely on the system resolver... Proxy out, by IP address if need be.
Not sure if Windows has an equivalent of LD_PRELOAD, but using your own resolver that always uses DNS, would do it.

Interesting mental exercise - the most comprehensive way around that filtering technique is simply to delete the hosts file (or edit it, I suppose). But if it were somehow made immutable, how would I get around it? Ignoring the difficulty of doing so under Winsock32, I think I would run a transparent http proxy server bound to localhost that did its own DNS without relying on the system libs... Hmm, that sounds exactly like the win32 port of squid. -Adam
