Sure, if you add a line in /etc/hosts, that works for most applications,

i just tried, adding a line to /etc/hosts.
ping hostname works, but host hostname fails, just as host ip-address.
So even when you only put ip-addresses (brrr) into your config files,
the reversed-lookup will still spoil the party.
It depends on the settings in /etc/nsswitch.conf and the resolver library
the application uses.
Compare ping and ssh referencing a host that is only in /etc/hosts.
