You could store it on a share and have your logon script copy the master
hosts file to each client when they logon.  Update the master once, and
then all clients receive the updated hosts file the next time they
logon.

Subject: Auto Entries into hosts file

We have removed forwarding from DNS and created a master hosts file
and put it on all the systems for only authorized sites to reduce the
risk of virus or trojans do to browsing inappropriate sites.  All of
the systems are W2K & W2003 servers.  Does anyone have a batch to add
entries as we need to grow the hosts...?
