Hi all,
Did a search and came up with THIS THREAD. It hinted at two servers that should
be allowed to ensure NIS 2013 functions flawlessly.
I didn't see any list or group of addresses/servers that MUST
NOT be BLOCKED by hosts file.
I build mine monthly from four of the Internet's highest regarded
anti-malware organizations.
OH - for the person asking about what to do with MAPS' file every month -
Download a program called HOSTESS which compares multiple removes duplicates
from a file and writes out a HOSTS file from the de-duplicated information.
You can do a simple Command Line task to copy the two files into a single Text file;
then run the results through Hostess to get Hosts file.
It would be a GREAT assistance though, if someone from Symantec would provide
a list of servers that must be allowed always.
Thank you,
CeeGee, CISSP

A hosts file is only used to block sites, it can't be used to "allow" anything.
No reputable custom host file would ever block security sites like Symantec in the first place.
Sorry if I misunderstood,
