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.
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?
