Not a good idea in my case.  IP #s at NYU are reasonably dynamic with
various changes being made as to which subnet a particular machine is on
(this sometimes happens as frequently as every month).  I personally BASE
about every document I make.  Maybe a hack so that Lynx keeps a temporary
"hosts.txt" buffer might make sense.  Say 10 hosts or net_locs for the 10
last URLs, whichever is fewer (maybe even refresh every hour).  But this
might create major problems with Lynx compliance to DNS specs and
recommendations.
