Here's my nswitch.file:

  passwd:         files
  group:          files
  shadow:         files
  gshadow:        files

  hosts:          files dns
  networks:       files dns

  protocols:      files
  services:       files
  rpc:            files

Its important to have files before dns for hosts entry.
