I was saying your server works because it CAN use /etc/hosts, but your windows clients cannot use it and thus need a working DNS. My main point was you can create the zone files with Yast, Network Services, DNS Server. My side point was, if you use dynamically updated dns using your dhcp server, you should NOT use Yast to edit your zone files, or it will mess up the dhcp updating. Hope that is clearer.
