Hosts File
The text based HOSTS file
was the first method introduced to handle this translation on
TCP/IP networks.
 Pound Sign
The Pound Sign # is used to enter any text comments in a HOSTS file. This is used just as the REM in batch files or the semi colon (;) in the registry.
This (the #) can be used to leave notes to remind you or someone else what is happening in a file.
|
HOSTS files (called /etc/hosts
on Linux and UNIX) are manually created and are a simple
listing file. This is an example of a hosts file which contains
only one entry, the local loopback address, 127.0.0.1. All other
lines beginning with the # character are comments.

#
# This is a sample HOSTS file used by Microsoft TCP/IP for Windows NT.
#
# This file contains the mappings of IP addresses to host names. Each
# entry should be kept on an individual line. The IP address should
# be placed in the first column followed by the corresponding host name.
# The IP address and the host name should be separated by at least
one space.
#
# Additionally, comments (such as these) may be inserted on individual
# lines or following the machine name denoted by a ‘#’ symbol.
#
# For example:
#
# 102.54.94.97 rhino.acme.com # source server
# 38.25.63.10 x.acme.com # x client host
local host
