Hhhmmm...... interesting food for thought.........
Coming from a background in small networks, I suppose my view is a bit
limited. So let's see if I can discern why the domain lookup function even
exists in the IOS.
In reasonably well organized larger networks, folks run their own DNS
internally. Network guys take advantage of the command ip name-server
a.b.c.d to point the router to their DNS server, which in turn has been
configured with router names and ip addresses. Makes telnetting around a
bit easier, particularly when router names follow some logical convention.
E.g. telnet BranchOffice or telnet 3rdfloor rather than the non-intuitive ip
addresses
Can you folks who work/have worked in such environments offer an opinion?

The whole point of a hosts file is so you don't need lookups!
