The resolution is set up through /etc/nsswitch.conf. If you use "files" in addition to dns, then you should be able to use your hosts file for dns resolution. # Legal entries are: # # compat Use compatibility setup # nisplus Use NIS+ (NIS version 3) # nis Use NIS (NIS version 2), also called YP # dns Use DNS (Domain Name Service) # files Use the local files # [NOTFOUND=return] Stop searching if not found so far # # For more information, please read the nsswitch.conf.5 manual page. # hosts: files dns networks: files dns -- Sandy List replies only please!
