The function of this option is to create an override for a connection with another connection for certain network addresses. If the report is run on a specific computer and a host connection is added for that address, the main connection will be replaced with another connection. The option is useful if we want to run reports from the developer's computer so that the data is taken from, say, the test server instead of the production one.
