That's true for most services but there are exceptions like the postfix MTA which has it's own way of doing name resolution which by default doesn't care about any system configuration. For postfix to use the system configuration one has to do 'disable_dns_lookups = yes' which means it can still use DNS that way but will do it through the systems resolver.
