Thanks for a great app. However here is one thing barring me from using it over editing my hosts file in notepad and that is the handling of duplicate hostnames.
I work in the webhosting field so I am constantly changing my hosts file entries for testing sites on servers other-than the server its currently pointed to in live DNS. However, to do this, effectively, I need to allow duplicate hostnames. like so:
I can see no option to allow duplicate hostnames like this. So I am petitioning you for a preference setting that I can enable to allow duplicate hostnames so I can use your very well done built-in editor. Regardless if you take on this feature request or not. I thoroughly appreciate your efforts on making such an excellent feature rich tool like this.
Thanks for your time.

flush dns and test away
However, when I try to make these entries via the HostsMan built-in editor, they end up being sanitized of duplicates like so:
