Self-hijacked? LOL

It is intentional. It prevents anyone (at least on the server) from
gaining access to any of the sites listed in the file. It does not
replicate itself though to clients hooked up through NAT/Routing.

Ace is missing how the file is used. He made me go through and
rethink things though, but if he continues in his response without
providing details on how HE knows I'm hijacked, then ... either
I am a complete idiot or he's just overlooking something.

Ace, do this for me. Go to a computer, open your hosts file,
then put in the following line:

127.0.0.1 www.playboy.com

Save the file, then open your browser and watch what happens.

Ace, I think this is intentional, self hijacked, host file to block these
sites by name.
