I am doing some testing and am having to make many changes to /etc/hosts

Is there a way to reload the /etc/hosts file without doing a service network restart?

That doesn't need to be reloaded *except* if you use the name service caching daemon (nscd). Then "service nscd reload" might be needed.

Probably my memory cells were working off of nscd and I had cached memories about needing to clear out cache. :)

So I got my mind cache flushed and working with fresh info.

I am at hiit.fi today getting the HIP code working. I will have a 'story' to tell end of the week....
