  Note:  in most cases a large HOSTS file (over 135 KB) tends to slow down the machine.
  -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

  The hosts file is a list of computer names and their associated IP addresses. Hosts
  files are used by Microsoft Windows and other network operating systems as
  an optional means to redirect TCP/IP traffic in special circumstances. These files 
  are not required to use ordinary network and Internet applications.
  The two common reasons for an individual to set up a hosts file are:

    1. To prevent access to undesirable Web servers (such as those offering tacky
       advertising or inappropriate content)
    2. To set up private, easy-to-remember shortcut names for servers on a local network

  The hosts file is designed to be edited by a computer administrator, knowledgeable
  user or automated script program.
