You may be able to do it when your Android phone is rooted.

If you have a decent router - like one running MikroTik RouterOS/CentOS/DD-WRT/OpenWRT/etc - then you could do this trick that would force the traffic to the local servers for all your clients/devices in your home.

Ofcourse you can also do this by setting up Internet Connection Sharing on a Windows PC (or the same using a Linux box), by letting your phone connect to the Internet via your PC.

Is there a post detailing Mikrotik config somewhere?

Easiest way:
Create the file on your desktop (just call it hosts)
open with notepad, enter the contents
Browse to your directory where hosts is saved - drag the file you created on desktop into there, and replace ;-)
