Paul, This also works to *allow* translation, for example, if the web server for the company is behind the firewall and internally has the IP address 192.168.1.100, and from outside the firewall it looks like www.ourcompany.com, then in the Hosts file, put it a line that says 192.168.1.100 www.ourcompany.com, and employees can see the real web page again, without fudging in the non-routable IP address.
