It's not true. According to http://www.pps.jussieu.fr/~jch/software/...o.html#DNS:

I just made a test. I can access the entry in HOSTS file under the default configuration.

I didn't try it but I think you can disable Polipo's DNS resolver to make the HOSTS file work:

Code:

# Uncomment this to disable Polipo's DNS resolver and use the system's
# default resolver instead.  If you do that, Polipo will freeze during
# every DNS query:

# dnsUseGethostbyname = yes

What's more, according to http://www.pps.jussieu.fr/~jch/software/...ME.Windows:

Quote:You will probably need to point it at your config file with an explicit ``-c''
command-line argument, and define at least the following configuration variables:

dnsNameServer
diskCacheRoot
forbiddenFile

The forbiddenFile variable is not needed if you are not using the forbidden version.

You can ignore the dnsNameServer variable too if you want to use the system's default resolver.
