How to Preload the client DNS resolver cache

If you want to Preload the client resolver cache follow this procedure

At the client computer, open Command Prompt.

notepad %systemroot%\system32\drivers\etc\hosts

Using the default entry in the file (a mapping for the local host to the loopback IP address, 127.0.0.1), add additional host name-to-address mappings on separate lines to be preloaded into the resolver cache of the client. For example, you might add:

10.0.0.1 host-a host-a.example.microsoft.com

On the File menu, click Save, and then Exit.
