I have some name address that i want to send straight to the void using the HOSTS file but i don't want to use the 127.0.0.1. How can i do that?.

Why?, I want to speed up some proccess but 127.0.0.1 is serving a webserver, so if i use 127.0.0.1 then this process will call my webserver, consuming resources and may be delaying the process.

Right now, i am using 0.0.0.0 instead of 127.0.0.1 but i am not sure if it is correct.

    0.0.0.0  crl.microsoft.com
