    Windows have an equivalent. On Win2K it is hidden at
    \WINNT\system32\drivers\etc\hosts
    and you should be able to find it with a search on other flavors.

    That means you can either add your own local DNS server set
    up with local addresses, leaving the public service up to
    the ISP or adjust everyone's host file. If there are more
    than a few clients, maintaining distributed hosts files
    can be painful.
