how to set /etc/hosts to force loopback connect

[Patrick Hsieh <pahud@ezplay.tv>]

Hello list,

I'd like to make my debian box to loopback connect when it tries to connect to 
a specific domain name, say "www.foo.com". So I configured /etc/hosts and put 
127.0.0.1   www.foo.com in it.

When I try to ping www.foo.com, it exactly goes to 127.0.0.1. But when I use 
telnet www.foo.com 80, it will not connect to 127.0.0.1.

Any idea?
