That hasn't been true for quite a while, Mark. z/VM 5.1 introduced ETC
HOSTS. It does not require use of MAKESITE; the *INFO files are used only
if no ETC HOSTS is available. ("Death to *INFO files! Death, I say!")

Recycling of the stack is not required. Just put the updated ETC HOSTS on
the 592 disk and recycle the *application* server (to get it to re-access
the 592). The file is read by the resolver, not the stack.
