"Fine, what do you think of the hostfile modifications that Spybot does? Is their list comprehensive enough? - by Jeng (926980) on Saturday February 02, @11:19AM (#42771357)

It's pretty good, just not as comprehensive as mine is & I incorporate their data into mine too PLUS that of another dozen or so reputable & reliable sources for custom hosts files data that ends up gaining a user of them added speed, security, reliability, & even anonymity to an extent as well!

Here's a quote I often use from a respected security expert from a division of SYMANTEC in fact, regarding that very thing, Spybot & hosts files' efficacy too:

* POSTS ABOUT HOSTS FILES I DID on "/." THAT HAVE DONE WELL BY OTHERS & WERE RATED HIGHLY, 26++ THUSFAR (from +3 -> +1 RATINGS, usually "informative" or "interesting" etc./et al):

BANNER ADS & BANDWIDTH:2011 -> http://hardware.slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=2139088&cid=36077722
HOSTS MOD UP:2010 -> http://yro.slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=1907266&cid=34529608

Here's your fix: IF you use a relatively "larger" HOSTS file to fix that all you have to do is stop the local DNS clientside cache service in services.msc!

That "lag" goes away for good... very easy to do!

This is a "fault" in MS Windows OS', not in Linux or MacOS X afaik though, & one I've had active debates with, w/ MS' own senior mgt. no less...

I.E.-> The local DNS clientside cache service "flakes out" w/ larger hosts files, & is apparently designed to use a "Fixed Size" structure for its member entries ( imo @ least? VERYbad design & what you see proves that much easily!).

PUT IT THIS WAY, by example: I current have 1,648,110++ entries in my HOSTS file (250 are my fav. sites sped up via hardcodes in it, the rest are blocked out known malicious sites/servers or adbanners)... &, I have an "experimental mode" (uses AIRELLE HOSTS data, bit overkill imo & has erroneous entries but has gotten better over the years imo), as many as 3,383,650 entries in it, no lag either - as long as you kill the local DNS clientside cahe that is.

The caching of HOSTS for better read/re-read speeds is then taken up by the kernelmode diskcache subsystem (like it does for any file).

So, if you don't change it (flagging it as changed/dirty which means a read back into cache), it remains in memory to speed up hosts-domain names resolution to IP addresses from RAM.

(The latter's what "offsets" diskread latencies/speeds, but I don't get that here, as a direct my system to read my HOSTS up from a Gigabyte IRAM RamDisk/RamDrive card (4gb DDR2)).

As to speed gains (as well as security ones using a HOSTS file? Here are some testimonials "to that effect"):

Blocking banners not only gets you speed, noticeable speed (per Mr. Oliver Day of SECURITYFOCUS.COM, who read my articles on them in the mid to late 90's in forums and now wrote about them in 2009) but, also more "layered security" too vs. malware poisoned adbanners (evidences below):
