etc/hosts is the shortcut, you will need to add yourself permissions in ETC that is embedded in the private folder,

I had to:
Open Terminal
"sudo su <ENTER>" (You'll have to provide your machine password)
"cd /etc <ENTER>"
"pico hosts <ENTER>" (I like to use vi but you may not have any idea what that is)
Add a line like this:
"74.208.105.171 gs.apple.com"
Save the file
Quit the editor

Test it by pinging "gs.apple.com"

ping gs.apple.com <ENTER>
PING gs.apple.com (74.208.105.171): 56 data bytes
64 bytes from 74.208.105.171: icmp_seq=0 ttl=54 time=7685.039 ms

If it points to 74.208.105.171 then you added the line to hosts correctly. If it goes elsewhere, try again and for god sakes, don't run a restore!

Hope this helps
