Everytime I activate vpn on my machine, a symlink to the "vpn" hosts is created. Upon deactivation of my vpn the symlink points to the "normal" hosts. It looks like this:
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 17 Feb 3 23:24 /etc/hosts -> /etc/hosts.normal -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1354 Feb 19 04:49 /etc/hosts.normal -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1420 Feb 3 16:09 /etc/hosts.vpn I use OpenVPN for my vpn, which calls the scripts up.sh and down.sh during de/activation. I simply put a appropriate "ln" command at the end of these scripts. Sure not the best solution, but if you only have a few machines it is good and simple enough. -- regards alex
