Who needs to spell when you have a good hosts file? The only sadistic thing about that company was that they did not document where things were. You would think that they would have a server called Helios that would know where things are and that the moons should be satellites to company projects with servers named after planets. The administrator had a list of names and projects, no? Someone should have beat him to within an inch of his job till he shared that list in one form or another.
