I've never had to use a host file!

To use Host files properly would I assume require each machine to have their
host updated on EVERY change.
With normaly over a dozen computers on our network of OS 3.1 - 6.06 that
would be a real pain.

I'm not aware of any situation yet were using a host file would have useful.

I gather some people swear by them but other swear at them!
