How HostAdmin analyze the Hosts file

------------------------------------

 [Syntax detail](http://code.google.com/p/fire-hostadmin/wiki/HOST_SYNTAX)

 

 * ``Common`` 

  IP DOMAIN [#COMMENT]

  

  *Example:*

        127.0.0.1       localhost #comment here

  NOTE: A line with a comment, 'hide' (case-insensitive), would be hiden from HostAdmin.

 

 * ``Grouping``

        #==== Groupname 

        

        # some mappings

        

        #====

   

   *Example:*

 

        #==== Project 1

        #127.0.0.1       localhost1

        127.0.0.1       localhost2

        127.0.0.1       localhost3

        #====

    

        #==== Project 2

        #127.0.0.1       localhost1

        #127.0.0.1       localhost2

        #127.0.0.1       localhost3

        #====

        

     

 * ``Bulk Hide``

        #hide_all_of_below 

        ...

        

        #All text here will be parsed as comment

        

        ...

   

  

WRITE Permission to Hosts File

------------------------------

*WRITE Permission* to Hosts is needed, thus HostAdmin could modify your Host Files.

XP users need NO additional setting.

Here is a guide for you to gain write privilege for Vista/7/Linux/MacOS users

http://code.google.com/p/fire-hostadmin/wiki/GAIN_HOSTS_WRITE_PERM

DNS Auto refreshing

-------------------

 * ``Firefox``

   HostAdmin borrowed code from [DNS flusher](https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/dns-flusher/) 

   to refresh dns when hosts file is modified.

   

 * ``Chrome``

   

   Since Chrome 21, Chrome will auto refresh dns by itself.

   More info at this [ticket](http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=125599)

   

   > _KNOWN ISSUE_

   >  

   > DNS may not refresh as soon as hosts file changes due to a Chrome bug 

   > reused socket pools by domain even if hosts changes

   >

   > To avoid this, open chrome://net-internals/#sockets and flush your host

   >
