I use something similar.

1. get hosts file from http://winhelp2002.mvps.org/hosts.htm

2. install pdnsd (by default it reads and uses the hosts file)

Can you elaborate on what pdnsd does? I understand how editing the hosts file work, but this pdnsd thing is new to me. Thank you!

It's a simple DNS proxy server.
