What is
hosts?
The hosts file at the most basic level is an address book of sorts,
allowing you to route /redirect communications. The file can be
located at the following places on a windows operating system.
c:\windows\hosts
c:\winnt\system32\drivers\etc
or on linux
/etc/hosts
It is commonly used to block ads companies by making the computer
always search for the ads on its own hard drive, in turn blocking
them. See here for more info
on doing that.
Adaptation
of hosts :-)
The
basic syntax is as follows.
<Server
1> <Server 2>
Where
<server 1> represents the server you are trrying to get
information from and <server 2> represents the server you really
want information from.
For
exapmle say i want dimer workunits all the time and nothing else i
would go here
and find out what server was giving out dimers. I would then
redirect all the work servers found here
to the server i wanted. So that no matter what i was assigned, i
would always get dimers.
Warning:
The Assignment servers must not be included in the list or you wont be
able to get any more workunits.
