check 'man dhcpcd' to check the arguments to pass to it (via /etc/conf.d/net) to prevent it overwriting local config files like /etc/resolv.conf.
Are you using a local bind server? recent updates to localhost processing in a recent gentoo update did the same for me with clients on other machines (principly firefox, but sometimes other apps). eventually I overwrote the gentoo supplied localhost and 127.zone config files with my own and now its all "sweet". I dont know why browsers seem to ignore /etc/hosts, but firefox, mozilla and I think IE all do. My /etc/nsswitch setting is "files DNS" which should make apps check /etc/hosts first.
