+HOSTS(5)                  Minix Programmer's Manual                   HOSTS(5)
+
+
+NAME
+     hosts - hostname to IP address database
+
+SYNOPSIS
+     /etc/hosts
+
+DESCRIPTION
+     The hosts  database  lists  the  IP  addresses  and  the  hostnames  that
+     translate  to  these IP addresses.  It is used by nonamed(8) in a network
+     without name servers.  A simple /etc/hosts may look like this:
+
+          127.0.0.1      localhost
+          192.9.200.1    darask
+          192.9.200.2    burask
+
+     The localhost entry lists a special address that refers to the local host
+     itself  (a  kind  of  /dev/tty  for  hosts.)   You should only list it if
+     nonamed needs it!  The other entries are actual machines.  The  file  may
+     contain comments marked with '#'.
+
+     You can have aliases (more hostnames on the same line),  but  it  is  not
+     recommended,  because  nonamed  can't present them to the system as CNAME
+     records.  An often seen form like
+
+          192.9.200.1    darask.home.cs.vu.nl  darask
+
+     is harmless though, and has the small advantage  that  you  can  use  the
+     short name in /etc/ethers so rarpd can match it at boot time.
+
+FILES
+
+     /etc/hosts     Hosts database.
