Got it!  Thank you everyone for your help.  I'll try the batch file/script
solution first.  We just finished our migration to AD and we have tons of
projects going on.  I want to leave DNS alone for now until there's time to
really sit down and plan something out.  The HOSTS file entry adding would
be a temporary but effective fix for us.

Jeff,
If you are sure you don't want to go the DNS route (which would be my first
choice), we have done this by creating the host file, placing it in the
sysvol\domain\scripts folder, creating a .bat file in the scripts folder to
"copy \\dcxx\sysvol\yourdomain\scripts\hosts c:\winnt\system32\drivers\etc",
and calling the .bat file from the users logon script. It's not very
glamorous. but it worked.

Either I've been hit with the stupid stick or I'm looking in the wrong
place!  Can anyone assist me in creating a policy to add an entry to the
HOSTS file on our domain computers?  Thank you for any help...
