[ale] is there a bash command to include a file in /etc/hosts?

Wolf,

You can sometimes source a file in bash with the ".". That is:

  .    /etc/hosts

Note the spaces there. However, I believe that will fail as sourcing is
used when files are executed. The hosts file is read on reference by
programs that need it. If you are trying to keep things separated by
breaking up files, have you considered using "make" to rebuild your host
file if any of the component files changes?
