Yes. The first DSL box I got was one of those passive types, where
the computer
is set to the actual IP. The Linux server used two ports at that time and the
internal LAN had the server at 192.168.1.1. The Linux server did the
firewalling and NAT processing. When the upgraded DSL connection was done,
it used new equipment and a new modem. So I assigned 192.168.1.254 to the
DSL NAT box and that is used as the gateway address by all of the LAN
computers.

Good idea, didn't think of doing it there. So now the hosts file looks like:
127.0.0.1 localhost www.vdiot.com vidiot.com
Doing a ping got the right results:
mrvideo.ZROOT <64> ping -s vidiot.com
PING vidiot.com: 56 data bytes
64 bytes from localhost (127.0.0.1): icmp_seq=0. time=0.0620 ms
That is a good sign.
All went to pieces after that. Putting vidiot.com as the URL got the damn
DSL modem's web page again. That is just not right. As you say, that should
be impossible.
Back to the drawing board to figure out what is going on with those packets.
BTW, the packets are really going to the DSL modem, because when I disconnect
the LAN cable to the bax, the browser freezes until I reconnect it, and the
pages gets loaded.

This is seriously off-topic for this list but here goes anyway...
Do you have a host.conf file on your system? (You should in the /etc directory)
If so, does it have something like this in it?
order bind hosts
If so, reverse the order of lookup to:
order hosts bind
That will ensure that the IP address resolution is driven by what is
in the hosts file before it goes out to any DNS server.
