Those files are created by running the /etc/mkhosts program. Unfortunately,
Domain/OS installation will create a link for the /etc/host file on nodes which
are not tcp_admin hosts, making it relatively easy to keep the /etc/hosts file
up to date on your network; but the installation will *not* create links for
the /etc/hosts.dir and /etc/hosts.pag files -- you wind up with seperate copies
on each machine on which you execute /etc/mkhosts.
