I am playing around with the idea of putting a hosts file on the the computers I look after that points a lot of sites to 127.0.0.1 (i.e. http://www.mvps.org/winhelp2002/hosts.htm )
I've been testing it on my computer and it seems to work well, except it would be nice if it would display a custom page (stored locally), instead of the default "Unable to connect"(FF), or "The page cannot be displayed" (IE). I know there are som shell script type web servers for linux but this would need to be a Windows app. I don't want to potentially create more insecurity (from installing a full web server). Any suggestions?
