I tried it, but my bind complained that I was not authoritive.

Top-posting... :-(

I'm not quite sure what you're doing, but it's not what being described. We're talking about putting the hostname in your /etc/hosts file and pointing it to a localhost address. It has nothing to do with bind.

I used to do that, but using the hosts file only leaves you with two
choices:  Give annoying domains a wrong IP to connect to that either
tries to load non-existent files from a real server (wasting traffic
and filling logs), or tries to connect to a server that isn't there
(and waits a long time for a timeout).

Or, you do the sensible thing and point said domain to 127.0.0.1, so
that it times out almost instantly.
