Reviewing 3.2.71 Beta 7 (Jul 7, 2009)
What's wrong with notepad? Hmm, It can't disable or reenable your dns service, It won't update your host file/s, It doesn't have an exclusion list feature, It can't resolve host names. As well hostsman is portable so you can use it without ever installing & the exe is compressable. It also includes http://www.mvps.org/winhelp2002/hosts.zip by default.
I have sometimes needed to disable certain hosts in order to view various picture url's. -

Very slick app (gui-wise), that does exactly what it says it does.
yokozuna: Thanks for your answer, man! :D
