Is it possible to force usage of /etc/hosts while quering for some
adderess.

Currently my Dns server does not allow me to use /etc/hosts entries
with external IP.

i.e
10.112.6.77 www.g.com
works

but

216.239.43.77 www.g.com
does not work.

Try:

1. Make sure the DNS client is configured for H node.

2. Make sure there is only one entry for the destination in the hosts file.

3. Run ipconfig /flushdns on the client before each test.
