and place an entry such as:
catnip.local 12.34.56.78
where 12.34.56.78 is the IP address of catnip.company.com. This can be discovered by either nslookup catnip.company.com
or dig catnip.company.com
The computer might need to be rebooted after editing the hosts file.

My spouse has, at her workplace, a Mac OS X machine with web sharing turned on. This machine is, therefore, reachable on the internal company LAN as either http://catnip.local or http://catnip.company.com
When she works from home, she accesses the company network via VPN. The machine is still accessible as http://catnip.company.com.
Unfortunately, many of the links automatically convert too URLs beginning catnip.local. Via VPN (the way she does it), there is no catnip.local.
Does anyone know where this redirection to catnip.local is stored and whether (how) she can make it stop?
