If your machine has the domain name server resolver libraries (atleast if its using the BIND 4.8 version), the you can set an environment variable called HOSTALIASES to point at a file containing a list of aliases for hosts. That file could look something like this: simtel20a 26.2.0.74 simtel20b wsmr-simtel20.army.mil. Try "man 7 hostname" if you have the BIND 4.8 software running.
