can you do something similar to CNAME in the HOSTS file? it is a DNS lookup
we are trying to handle and the DNS domain that was used no longer exists
if i've been keeping up properly...

granted, with less than 9000 nodes in fidonet now, it isn't that hard to do
but i don't know that i want to manage a HOSTS file with that many entries
;)
