Re: resolv.conf

["Jens B. Jorgensen" <jjorgens@bdsinc.com>]

In /etc/host.conf you need to have something like:

order hosts,bind

"bind" is what makes DNS servers get used for lookups. Without it DNS servers will not
be consulted. The order says where to look first, in this case first /etc/hosts, then
DNS.
