Thank you. That's explain it. But would that fill up your dns buffer?

Yes, and if you use a large hosts file as a security blocking tool rather than its intended purpose as an auxiliary DNS provider, you may want to disable local DNS caching.

said by »www.mvps.org/winhelp2002/hosts.htm :


    Editors Note: in most cases a large HOSTS file (over 135 kb) tends to slow down the ma chine.
    This only occurs in W2000/XP/Vista. Windows 98 and ME are not affected.
 
    To resolve this issue (manually) open the "Services Editor"
 
        * Start | Run (type) "services.msc" (no quotes)
        * Scroll down to "DNS Client", Right-click and select: Properties
        * Click the drop-down arrow for "Startup type"
        * Select: Manual, or Disabled (recommended) click Apply/Ok and restart.

Mem : Yes, ads from sites listed in the host file are redirected to 127.0.0.1, your localhost, so those sites are not displayed.

NTD : Yes, used SpyBod and spywareBlaster. Could that be the reason?

NTD : Does any one know why I have so many of them when displaydns?

Is it normal? even after flushdns and displaydns followed. Thanks.
