Do you have a reason to doubt either the sincerity or technical ability of the Author? Did you find a fault in their methods? I totally believe it, both from a load balancing perspective and from a stack perspective. There was a version of Mac OS were different applications used different resolvers so, for instance, changing /etc/hosts would redirect SOME services/browsers to the IP in /etc/hosts and other services/browsers would still use DNS. I've had similar issues manually setting the DNS server address where some services ignored the setting if they could resolve against Apple's favoured DNS. This might still be true but I'm now longer doing security work and I'm not using these tricks anymore.
