No, that simply acts as DNS cache which overrides DNS lookups on your computer. It can be abused to block access to certain domain names from your PC (by pointing them to localhost or something), but not actual IP addresses. You'd have to use a firewall to do that. 

Ahh right right right, ok well thats good enough for me, i want to restrict certian websites on certian computers (Sisters been asked to by dad) So ill just put the domians i want blocked in her pc's HOSTS
