Names in a host table are only used by programs running on the same 
computer.  So if you put a name in your IBM i host table, they're only 
available to programs running on that i.

This is the difference between a host table and a DNS server.  Stuff put 
in the DNS server is available to all computers that query that DNS 
server.  Stuff in the host table is not.

The reason I'm saying this:  You say that these host table entries are 
for Client Access, Outlook, and/or Thunderbird.   That does not make 
sense...  those programs are PC programs, they can't possibly be 
querying your IBM i host table.   They could be in the PC's host table, 
of course... but not your IBM i's host table.

But perhaps you meant they're in your DNS server rather than your host 
table?
