Hi, I'm trying to get mac.com to point to somewhere else so I can use iBackup, etc to my home server.

I've added it to /etc/hosts to no avail, it seems that I can't get mac.com to redirect.

it appears that I'm not searching the local /etc/hosts first:

MacBook:~ bob$ nslookup mac.com
Server: 192.168.4.1
Address: 192.168.4.1#53

Non-authoritative answer:
Name: mac.com
Address: 17.250.248.32

my /etc/hosts has:

192.168.4.1 mac.com

I'm guessing that it's in the resolver but haven't really found anything to help here.

suggestions?
thx,
bob
