"!hosts = /path/to/file" will do in the simple case, where /path/to/file
contains things like:

1.2.3.4
1.2.3.4/29
something.example.com

(although bear in mind the caveats in the manual about using hostnames
mixed with IPs when DNS lookups may fail etc. - if you are going to
mix them in the same file, you probably want to put IPs first)
