Create 2 files hosts.work & hosts.play in /etc Add these 2 lines into .profile or .bash_profile alias work='sudo cp -f /etc/hosts.work /etc/hosts' alias play='sudo cp -f /etc/hosts.play /etc/hosts' If you don't want to sudo, chmod /etc/hosts.

Great idea! Should be mixed with crontab that disable "play mode" every 30 minutes forcing you to manually copy the play host file.

Just remember to be careful with changing permissions on your hosts file. You wouldn't want an unprivileged user to be adding lines to it. 69.57.123.17 your-bank.com
