I'd like to ease the maintenance of our hosts file by
maintaining a single copy and storing it on a share where
all workstaions could refer to it.

How do I configure a workstation to look in this alternate
location?

Thanks in advance.

Dave:

This can be done with 'LMhosts' but I don't think it can be done with the 'hosts' file.

Try updating the value:

HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Tcpip\Parameters\DatabasePath
