Thanks for all your replies.  It's amazing what little things
can do to make a work environment more convenient.  Thanks
also for endulging the off-topic question.

ps.  quick summary of what's working for me (in MacOS 8.0):
filename: System Folder:Preferences:hosts

some.domain.com		A		192.168.0.25
somealias			CNAME	some.domain.com

'nuther quick note, MacOS does the Right Thing and checks the
hosts file before checking DNS servers.
