##hosts.deny

ALL: *.microsoft.com
sshd: *.apple.com
in.ftpd: 192.168.0.5

are some examples, you should get a pretty decent man page with man 5 
hosts.deny if not then your man pages are broken :)

(btw I don't remember for sure if the * is needed or not it probably 
isn't but i don't think it matters)
