Yes, in my experience, CF will ask the OS to resolve names, and the OS will do so using the hosts file if a matching entry is present and it was created prior to any previous queries for the same entry. You can remove the entry, then flush the local DNS cache to prevent future name resolution for that entry using the cached value.
