Hosts Attribute exception/override?

["Jefferson, Shawn" <Shawn.Jefferson () bcferries com>]

I recently made some changes on the network, and was trying to get alerting setup for a proxy server.  I had some 
trouble and finally tracked it down to the hosts attribute entry for my proxy.  I'm using PRADS and shipping that file 
to all my sensors.  Basically what had happened was that PRADS thinks that the proxy port 3128 is TLS/SSL, which it can 
be, but it's also HTTP.  Snort was completely ignoring the HTTP traffic for that port, even though I had 3128 in all 
the right places in the snort.conf, and treating the proxy as EXTERNAL_NET.

Is there a method to override the hosts attribute table, or should I strip this system out before sending it to this 
particular sensor that is watching the proxy traffic?

Thanks
Shawn
