In System Folder > Control Panels > TCP/IP you will notice that you can set a hosts file (top/right button).

That file is just a text file containing DNS entries so that your computer doesn't have to resolve them and/or you can force what IP they resolve to. The format is slightly different from nowadays hosts files... I got inspiration from this useful page: https://pgl.yoyo.org/as/serverlist.php?hostformat=machosts
