FYI, the one place we learned that this is not true is when a proxy server
is defined, at least Microsoft's ISA 2000 proxy server. ISA does the DNS
resolution on behalf of their "web proxy" clients. We discovered (the hard
way) that modifying the local HOSTS file had absolutely no effect at all.

In Windows the default is to first
check the host file, then DNS or WINS (from Win2k and on DNS is used before
WINS).
