: High latency in DNS resolution can cause massive slowdowns when opening or saving files in PDM. Manually mapping the server IP to its name in the hosts file bypasses this delay.
: If a client machine can "ping" a PDM server's IP address but cannot find it by name, the hosts file can manually map the name to the IP.
: If your network cannot translate server names to IP addresses, this manually forces the connection. Testing/Maintenance
