This is not windows. The /etc/hosts trick works as soon as you finish editing the file, without the need to restart anything. I guess other methods would require network restart, but definitely not a reboot. The only thing that needs a reboot is when you want to use a new or different kernel. -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
