W2k Question

[David Purucker]

Hello,

The real problem is the router, which may not be configurable enough
to do what he wants.

As to your other question....

It would use a different file for a FQDN:

     %SYSTEMROOT%\system32\drivers\etc\hosts

a standard hosts file, same as UNIX/Linux.

----------------hosts example---------------------
# For example:
#
#  102.54.94.97     rhino.acme.com          # source server
#   38.25.63.10     x.acme.com              # x client host

     127.0.0.1   localhost
192.168.120.40   hostname.ods.org
-----------------end example-----------------------

Hope that was useful,

Dave P.
