At least in windows, the hosts file can point from any domain to any IP. In theory you can do things like point advertising domains to 127.0.0.1 if you wanted to make sure web requests never made it off your local machine.

Try writing your backend with browser limitations and see what kind of wild wrappers you make to keep yourself sane.
