I wholeheartedly concur. My original impression of the scenario was
that this was an emergency situation and a quick out was needed.

If it's just a matter of adding the name and address of your z/OS
host,
why not add it to the local hosts file?
EEEEEWWWWWW!
This will bite you. Particularly if/when you have to change the official
address of some host you've stuck in a local hosts file. You'll
invariably miss one guest, or you'll forget it's there and spend all
kinds of time beating your head against the wall why an address change
didn't work.
Save what little hair we have left. Stamp out host files in our time!
