Quicker way (niload)

You can load your /etc/hosts into NetInfoManager's database like this...

niload -m hosts / < /etc/hosts
(run as root if your admin doesn't have enough privileges).

The '-m' means merge the new hosts in with the existing ones.

The same procedure works for these:
aliases, bootptab, bootparams, ethers, exports, fstab, group, hosts, networks, passwd, printcap, protocols, resolv.conf, rpc, services, mountmaps.
