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

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?
