Sort of. *nix /etc/hosts works primarily as a name resolver for non DNS
local networks. /etc/hosts.deny sets the base policy for access to your
localhost; usually All: All, as in deny everyone. /etc/hosts.allow sets
exceptions to the base policy, e.g. if you want everyone in your LAN to
have access to your computer you'd make the entry: All :
192.168.1.0/255.255.255.0. Season to taste.
While the listed bypasses will work, that is not really the intent of
the /etc/hosts file and may serve to slow down other surfing since hosts
is the first file looked at in domain name resolution.
