That doesn't always work. Take cases where multiple sites live on a server with one IP address.

I pinged www.gc.maricopa.edu to get their IP address 140.198.200.163. I put in firefox and got their site.

I tried the same for www.foxnews.com 24.143.206.89 but got the following instead.

Invalid URL

The requested URL "/", is invalid.

Reference #9.55ce8f18.1321555305.131e3b52

I haven't read the proposals (did read the article), but if all they're doing is changing DNS services, wouldn't (simply) adding entries to the hosts file of any client circumvent the controls? Am I missing something?
