I have the problem that I cannot ssh/telnet/whatever to hosts that are
in /etc/hosts when my nameserver is not reachable:

marvin:~# ifdown eth0
marvin:~# ping -c 1 localhost
PING localhost (127.0.0.1): 56 data bytes
[.. works ..]

marvin:~# telnet localhost
telnet: could not resolve localhost/telnet: Temporary failure in name resolution

marvin:~# ifup eth0
PING localhost (127.0.0.1): 56 data bytes
[.. works ..]

marvin:~# telnet localhost
Trying 127.0.0.1...
[.. works ..]




Maybe it is a misconfiguration, but I don't hope so:
marvin:~# cat /etc/hosts
127.0.0.1       localhost
192.168.112.2   marvin.ibk.palfrader.org

# The following lines are desirable for IPv6 capable hosts
# (added automatically by netbase upgrade)

::1     ip6-localhost ip6-loopback
fe00::0 ip6-localnet
ff00::0 ip6-mcastprefix
ff02::1 ip6-allnodes
ff02::2 ip6-allrouters
ff02::3 ip6-allhosts


marvin:~# cat /etc/host.conf 
order hosts,bind
multi on


marvin:~# cat /etc/resolv.conf 
search ibk.palfrader.org palfrader.org
nameserver 192.168.112.1

marvin:~# cat /etc/nsswitch.conf 
# /etc/nsswitch.conf

So, am I just plain stupid or is this a bug?

I'm running a current woody as of 2000-10-31 (libc6 2.1.96-1)
