This is probably not Java-related, but I guess you guys might know the answer.

I know adding a line to /etc/hosts could resolve a host name to any IP address. But where can I do the reverse? I am using a tool (kvno from MIT krb5) now and it is trying to perform something on the argument

    The service hostnames will be canonicalized according to
    the usual rules for constructing service principals.

Where can I trick the "usual rules" so that the canonicalized output becomes any string I want.

Background: I am trying to mimic multiple names on my localhost but do not want the canonicalized output to be "localhost" again. Also my local ISP has this annoying "feature" that maps every unknown host name to an IP address that offers name suggestion and other ads.

Thanks
Max
