Hosts Table

Like a name service, the hosts table translates names to IP
addresses and vice versa. However, the hosts table is only used
by the NETServer itself, rather than the entire network. If you
are not using a name service and you want to use names rather
than IP addresses, you must first create host table entries for all
the hosts you want to refer to.
