Is it possible to enter some sort of CNAME record or alias in the windows hosts file (C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts)? Basically I want to forward all requests made to host A to host B, without having to hard code the IP address (which changes frequently). | |||

The windows hosts file supports only ip->name mappings, it does not support any other standard DNS record types. See here: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb727005.aspx#EDAA I would recommend running a simple dns server in order to do the redirect you are talking about. Try powerdns http://www.powerdns.com/ | |||
