If you wanted to connect to a domain name, you'd either need to specify DNS servers that can resolve that name, or have entries in your hosts file for the domain. I'm not sure whether SSH will look at the hosts file, not everything does, but I think it's usually only DNS testing tools, mail servers, and Squid that behaves that way. -- Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored.
