hola.
There exists a program to assist you. In case you do not remember (or
want to remember) where the hosts file is, the 'findhost' program in the
consult locker will check the appropriate MIT hosts file:
[10:46] ghost-> add consult
[10:46] ghost-> findhost 18.233.0.1
Using hostfile: /afs/net.mit.edu/admin/hosts/hosts
18.233.0.1 nw12b-rtr-delta-kappa-epsilon-ether.mit.edu nw12b-rtr-delta-kappa-epsilon-ether dke-ether
like magic...
