Ok, the emulator doesn’t care about the /etc/hosts entries but I configured a real internal DNS server which is able to resolve names. I’m using this DNS server for my host so I don’t understand why isn’t the emulator able to use this. Sorry but I still don’t understand! Thanks for your help!

When it starts, the emulator tries to find the current DNS servers for your machine, and setups network aliases so that the Android system can send query to them.
However, a typical Windows/Unix application also resolves machine names with the help of local configuration files (e.g. /etc/hosts and etc/resolv.conf on Unix), which don't involve a DNS server. What you need is run a DNS proxy program on your machine, and make the emulator use it by default (with the -dns-server option). your DNS proxy should be able to use the hosts/resolv.conf file and resolve internal names.
