The latest versions of the enhanced client have the server IP/port hard-coded (107.23.85.115), so you can't use a hosts file to redirect it. Instead, you have to either use a router to intercept and re-route the hard-coded IP address to the shard you want to connect to... or you have to find some other way to re-route that hard-coded IP.

I did it by altering the network configuration on my client PC, adding that hardcoded IP address to my local network adapter, and running a program I downloaded called rinetd with a conf file that looks like this (in my example below the sphere shard is running on 192.168.1.100):

0.0.0.0 7775 192.168.1.100 7775
