Hi,

Is there a way to set ttl for entried in /etc/hosts and /etc/hip/hosts?

I suspect that some apps are working with ttls of 'forever'?

the ttl for hosts file entries is forever.

And that is probably what is killing me with these apps, going from direct IP to switching them to using /etc/hip/hosts.
