Using Proxy Server to act as hosts file

Using Proxy Server to act as hosts file I am trying to see if I can have a specific Hosts file that only a Proxy Server application on my machine will use while the remainder of the machine uses the normal proxy server.

"Fiddler can do this. Using custom rules in it's CustomRules.js file, you can simulate the Windows hosts file by pointing one hostname to a different IP address. An example is provided on their script samples page:

// All requests for subdomain.example.com should be directed to the development server at 128.123.133.123
if (oSession.HostNameIs(""subdomain.example.com""))
{
oSession.bypassGateway = true; // Prevent this request from going through an upstream proxy
oSession[""x-overrideHost""] = ""128.123.133.123""; // DNS name or IP address of target server
}"
