hey all if a network has a proxy server attached which hostfile is used the local one on the computer or the one on the computer acting as the proxy server or does the proxy override the host file all together? i was asking because i was trying to redirect a site to a block page using the local hostfile but it doesnt do anything when i use it. i know it works because i used it on a non networked computer my laptop and it re directed to the site ok (this is all my own test network at home)

any insight on this would be greatly appreciated
