/etc/nsswitch.conf can control this for you. Set:
hosts: files
Another way to do this that might be a little less obtuse to some (A
lot of people aren't aware of nsswitch, which is a shame, but a fact
none the less) would be to create an empty resolve.conf and then
either make DHCP (if you use it) ignore DNS settings it receives, or
set resolv.conf to be immutable with chattr. Note that I haven't
actually tried any of the above, and it is likely that locking
resolv.conf would cause your DHCP client to throw an error, and
perhaps fail entirely.
