I would discourage you from putting in any entries not served up by your

This x100. I've seen more "errors" caused by people adding host table
entries that it's the first thing I look for now with connection problems.

For some reason some shops think they ping google.com from their PC, and
then add a host table entry for it on their IBM i with the IP that is
resolved. No... use DNS! :)
