You might want to look at your /etc/nsswitch.conf and make sure the line
that says 'hosts:' reads 'files ....' it probably reads 'dns ... files' .
This will change it so that programs do a DNS lookup in the /etc/hosts
file first rather than the remote DNS server.. I think you might want to
change the networks: line also
