RFE: gethostbyname bypass

2005-11-10 Thread Zenon Panoussis
Assuming that download.example.com is round-robined to a bunch of machines, but I only want to use some of them and not others (e.g. because some are close to me or fast and others not), it would be very useful to have an option to overide the results of gethostbyname and define the IP-addresses

Is this anything like the recent inquiry, Wget Feature request IP address override.? http://www.mail-archive.com/wget@sunsite.dk/msg08340.html Maybe this should make it into the FAQ, people ask for it quite often. Perhaps so.
