-# This is a sample HOSTS file used by Microsoft TCP/IP for Windows.
-#
-# This file contains the mappings of IP addresses to host names. Each
-# entry should be kept on an individual line. The IP address should
-# be placed in the first column followed by the corresponding host name.
-# The IP address and the host name should be separated by at least one
-# space.
-#
-# Additionally, comments (such as these) may be inserted on individual
-# lines or following the machine name denoted by a '#' symbol.

-# For example:
-#
-#      102.54.94.97     rhino.acme.com          # source server
-#       38.25.63.10     x.acme.com              # x client host
