Re: Redirect IP to hostname

I am using a hosts file to redirect many host names to a single IP
address

Since the IP is dynamic, the hosts file has to be updated occasionally
which can be troublesome.

Check out using the LMHOSTS file rather than HOSTS.

----------------------------------------------------
# Specifying "#INCLUDE <filename>" will force the RFC NetBIOS (NBT)
# software to seek the specified <filename> and parse it as if it were
# local. <filename> is generally a UNC-based name, allowing a
# centralized lmhosts file to be maintained on a server.
-----------------------------------------------------

This way, for IP changes, you'll only have to edit one file on the server.
