pthis K article indicates a way to edit it, so i assume it does consult it. with the exception mentioned in there.

do you have another experience? do you have any DNS forwarders setup?

Hi boneyard

i have already edit /etc/host but still, waf does not read host file. The other option is dns server, but i have an issue with that server that's why i tried local host

    have you edited /etc/host by hand or via the commands from the article?

    can you explain where you want to use the entry from the host file? i can give it a try and see if it works for me.

        where in APM? as a host in the authentication, for clients who connect via SSLVPN, for links on the webtop, ...?

        there is quite some places that can use hostnames, not all will look at /etc/host i expect. so please share your situation in more detail.
