If I've understood you correctly, The local PC (Your DNS Server) will read
your host file but Other PC's using that PC's DNS will never see the host
file,

your best bet is to add your own DNS resolutions to do this task.

Sorry for the ot post guys, but just a quick question...

On a box running win2k and running windows DNS service does the dns
service look at the hosts file at all?

ie if i add a load of ad blocking definitions to the hosts file on that
server will it read those or just ignore it completely?

Thanks


Andy
