The hosts file is one of the files in the base, so it's always replaced. I recommend creating a hosts file in the /rw directory, then in rc.local deleting the hosts file and creating a link to the one in /rw That's what I do, and it works like a charm. Other than that, you can set up an internal DNS server that hangs off the proxyVM to handle all DNS requests from all other guests that hang off that ProxyVM. It's just another simple solution. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.
