Hosts-file hosts check

[Giel]

Hello, im updating my hosts file for some time now (oa thanks to hpguru and
http://accs-net.com/hostess/).
It really grows out of proportion and i've noticed some hosts don't exists
anymore.
So some cleaning would be nice.
But im too lazy to manually check every host.
So before i start making weird macro's;
Does anyone know of such a program or script that connects every host in the
file to see if it's there?

friendly greetings from giel

I have been using AM Deadlink (Free) available at
http://www.aignes.com/products.htm It seems to work OK.

Hope this helps, I'm lazy too!

nope, its a nifty program, but it will not open my (hosts)txt-file and i
don't think it can handle the syntax, but i'll keep trying though....
