Actually I don't think that's right. You're mixing up the address of Google's DNS server with the address of the crazyguyonabike website. Referring to the page I linked to previously, you would enter 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 into the section of the first pictured dialog which has the section entitled "Use the following DNS server addresses". If you wanted to use the hosts file approach, then the line would be something like this:
69.59.196.178 crazyguyonabike.com
Since the new ip address of my server is 69.59.196.178. I'm not sure what your hosts line would do, or why it would work.
Hope that makes sense,
Neil
