looks like it yeah.

take out the period if it is in /etc/hosts. also it may help(although it
can break
normal internet usage). edit /etc/nsswitch.conf and find the line that
says hosts:
on it, and remove everything after the word hosts: except the word
files. not all
programs use this file but maybe inetd does. or you can try removing
tcp_wrappers
from inetd by deleting the part of the line that has /usr/sbin/tcpd (or
whatever its called) and restart inetd to see if that does it.

not sure myself, there is probably an RFC for it. although ARP doesn't
do
name resolution just MAC->IP and the other way around.
