Can't you use your normal system hosts file for that and enable normal DNS
lookup? The OS should then use that file instead.

Subject: [Ethereal-users] hostname substitued in trace for ip without
usingDNS


How do I set up a hostname file and how do I use it to get the hostname to
appear in the trace?  I do not want to use DNS resolution because our hosts
have very long cryptic names and for analysis this just gets in the way.  I
would like to use a hosts file on my machine and have ethereal substitute
those names for the ip address but could not find anything in the docs which
suggested this could be done and as to where to put the "hosts" file for
ethereal to find and how to tell it to look locally.  Is this possible?
Thanks,
=gerry=
