Another item is the sequence for lookups! So have you confirmed that your nsswitch.conf file has been set to look at /etc/hosts first then dns?

I've tried altering my /etc/hosts files as per the suggestion, but my DNS server is still being sent an A query - for every call. Please help! I'm using 1.4.21.2.

If I remember correctly, the solution was to put the IP Address of the Box in the /etc/hosts file. Like for example: 192.168.2.1 asterisk.localhost If you have multiple interfaces with private IP addresses then put them all in the file.
