Hi guys

 

As far as I can tell, name resolution (specifically DNS, other sorts looks similar) is either:

(a) OFF

(b) ON – uses values from hosts file AND tries live DNS

(c) ON + concurrent - uses values hosts file AND tries live DNS concurrently

 

So if you want to use a host file you have to have live DNS turned on (with the slowdown that implies).

 

Can anyone confirm this? Might it be more sensible to have a setting that allow the use of the hosts file without live DNS?

 

Cheers

 

Doug
